开放科学环境下睡美人论文量化识别与影响因素研究

Quantitative Identification and Influencing Factors of Sleeping Beauty Papers in an Open Science Environment

社交媒体的快速发展深刻影响和变革了科学交流模式,开放科学这一新的科研范式的兴起为研究睡美人论文的特征及影响力提供了新的视角和途径,对其进行基于多源异构数据的量化识别和影响因素分析能够充分挖掘其潜在科研价值。本文以经济学和计算机科学分别作为社会科学和自然科学领域的代表性学科,利用从Web of Science及Altmetrics.com获取的海量引文数据、题录数据和替代计量数据,识别两个学科在1996—2014年发表的睡美人论文,从睡眠特征、唤醒机制和期刊特征3个方面进行描述性分析,并对睡美人论文影响因素进行剖析和比较。实证结果表明:(1)将反映学术关注度的论文被引频次与反映社会关注度的Altmetrics数据相结合作为睡美人论文识别的原始数据是有必要且有意义的;(2)自然科学领域更容易出现睡眠特征明显的睡美人论文;两类领域研究都注重论文在理论方面突出的创新性和价值,同时,自然科学领域更加注重对前人算法或技术等方面的应用和完善;社会科学领域发表在高水平期刊上的论文也可能面临沉睡多年后才被唤醒的情况,而自然科学领域睡美人论文多出现在低水平期刊上;(3)对于国外睡美人论文,期刊影响力、新闻提及、社交平台阅读量对社会科学领域睡美人论文的唤醒具有显著影响,基金资助对自然科学领域睡美人论文的唤醒具有显著影响,政策文本提及在两个领域均起到关键作用;(4)相对于国外资源库建设成果,中国应该继续发展适应本土的替代计量数据集成平台。

The rapid development of social media has profoundly influenced and transformed the modes of scientific communication.The rise of open science as a new research paradigm provides a new perspective and approach for studying the characteristics and influences of sleeping beauty papers.The quantitative identification and analysis of influencing factors based on multisource heterogeneous data can fully tap into the potential research value of open science.This study considers economics and computer science as representative disciplines in the social and natural sciences,respectively.Using massive citation data and altmetrics data obtained from the Web of Science and Altmetrics.com,we identified sleeping beauty papers published in the two disciplines from 1996 to 2014.To examine and compare the influencing factors of sleeping beauty papers,descriptive analyses were conducted from three aspects:sleep characteristics,wake-up mechanisms,and journal characteristics.The following conclusions were drawn.(1)It is necessary and meaningful to combine the citation frequency of papers reflecting academic attention with altmetric data reflecting social attention as raw data for identifying sleeping beauty papers.(2)Natural sciences are more prone to the emergence of sleeping beauty papers with clear sleep characteristics.Although types of research focus on the theoretical innovations and values of articles,natural science places greater emphasis on the application and improvement of existing algorithms and technologies.Papers published in high-level journals in the social sciences field may also face the situation of being awakened after years of dormancy,whereas sleeping beauty papers in the natural sciences field often appear in low-level journals.(3)Journal influence,news coverage,and social media reading were discovered to have a significant impact on the awareness of foreign sleeping beauty papers in the field of social sciences.In contrast,funding had a significant impact on the emergence of sleeping beauty papers in the natural sciences.Policy texts play a key role in both fields.(4)Compared to the achievements of foreign resource library construction,China should continue to develop altmetric data integration platforms that are adapted to local conditions.
