学术社交网站用户使用偏好比较分析——基于学术身份与学科视角

Comparative Analysis of Users’ Preferences of Academic Social Networking Sites:From Academic Identity and Discipline Perspectives

了解学术社交网站用户的使用行为偏好及态度,为在线科学交流研究和实践提供重要参考。通过问卷调查获取主流学术社交网站用户的平台使用及态度信息,对调查结果进行统计、检验,分析不同学术身份、学科领域用户的使用行为差异。研究发现用户科学交流行为与学术身份显著相关,但学科差异不明显。其中,教师群体比学生更重视在线科学交流,但学生更容易发现感兴趣的出版物。讲师/助理讲师寻求科研合作的意愿更高,并且对平台促进学术传播作用的认同度最高,而教授/副教授存在社交不足现象。此外,平台在发现工作机会和项目资助方面的作用有限。

To understanding the behavioral preferences and attitudes of users of academic social networking sites,and to provide an important reference for online scientific communication research and practice,we obtained information on platform usage and attitudes of users of mainstream academic social networking sites through questionnaires,and then conducted statistics and tests on the survey results to analyze the differences in usage behaviors of users with different academic identities and disciplines.This study found that scientific communication behavior of users was significantly related to academic identity,but the disciplinary difference was not obvious.Among them,the faculty group valued online scientific communication more than students,but students were more likely to find publications of interest.Lecturers/assistant lecturers were more willing to seek scientific collaboration and had the highest level of agreement with the platform’s role in facilitating scholarly communication,while professors/associate professors were socially underrepresented.In addition,the platform had a limited role in identifying job opportunities and project funding.
