历时视角下的作者引证规律研究——以Scientometrics为例

Diachronic Study on Author's Citation Rules:A Case of Scientometrics

开展作者引证规律研究可以了解研究人员使用学术文献的特征,实现文献的利用以及开展科学评价工作。文章以Scientometrics期刊论文为研究对象,引入作者首次引证时间、作者引证时间跨度以及作者最佳引证时间三个测度指标,对样本数据进行了测度。研究发现:不同出版年份的测度结果有所不同,即使是同一出版年份其测度结果也有所差异;三种测度指标总体上呈现出下降态势,但作者引证时间跨度测度数据变化相对复杂(下降-平稳-下降)。

The study on author’s citation rules can help to learn more about the characteristics of researchers’ utilization of academic literature, improve the utilization of academic literature and better carry out scientific evaluation. This paper introduces three measure indicators, i.e., the author’s first citation time, the author’s citation time span, and the author’s best citation time, to make an analysis of the sample data taken from Scientometrics. The results are as follow:(1) the measurement results of different publishing years are different;and even in the same publishing year,the measurement results could be somewhat different too;(2)although the data of the author’s citation time span is relatively complex,which is descending-stationary-descending,the three measure indicators have a downward trend in general.
