CiteOpinion: Evidence-based Evaluation Tool for Academic Contributions of Research Papers Based on Citing Sentences

Purpose:To uncover the evaluation information on the academic contribution of research papers cited by peers based on the content cited by citing papers,and to provide an evidencebased tool for evaluating the academic value of cited papers.Design/methodology/approach:CiteOpinion uses a deep learning model to automatically extract citing sentences from representative citing papers;it starts with an analysis on the citing sentences,then it identifies major academic contribution points of the cited paper,positive/negative evaluations from citing authors and the changes in the subjects of subsequent citing authors by means of Recognizing Categories of Moves(problems,methods,conclusions,etc.),and sentiment analysis and topic clustering.Findings:Citing sentences in a citing paper contain substantial evidences useful for academic evaluation.They can also be used to objectively and authentically reveal the nature and degree of contribution of the cited paper reflected by citation,beyond simple citation statistics.Practical implications:The evidence-based evaluation tool CiteOpinion can provide an objective and in-depth academic value evaluation basis for the representative papers of scientific researchers,research teams,and institutions.Originality/value:No other similar practical tool is found in papers retrieved.Research limitations:There are difficulties in acquiring full text of citing papers.There is a need to refine the calculation based on the sentiment scores of citing sentences.Currently,the tool is only used for academic contribution evaluation,while its value in policy studies,technical application,and promotion of science is not yet tested.

Contrastive Study of Metadiscourse in the Conclusion of Academic Papers between Soft Science and Hard Science

Academic paper as a genre is communicative.Interactional metadiscourse is one of the linguistic features that can significantly show the communicative feature of texts.With different research methodologies and characteristics,academic papers of hard and soft science present different degree of communicative features.The corpus of this study consists of 16 academic papers among which 8 are from hard science and 8 from soft science.This article aims to explore the different ways of scholars from soft and hard science to use metadiscourse in the conclusion part of their academic papers to exert lights to the pedagogical development of academic papers.

Problems and Countermeasures in the Keywords of Academic Papers

Keywords with the retrieval value clearly show the main contents, enhance the influence of academic periodicals, highlight specific information, and generalize information, but because of the ignorance of the value of keywords from some authors and editors, the lack of canonical guidance, and limitations of the editorial knowledge structure, there are some problems concerning keywords in academic papers, such as papers containing too many or too few keywords, or keywords being used in a way that is too general or colloquial. According to academic principle, accurate principle, logical principle, comprehensive principle, it is imperative to discuss how to choose keywords properly.

Does Success Breed Success?A Study on the Correlation between Impact Factor and Quantity in Chinese Academic Journals

Purpose:This paper studies the relationship between the impact factor(IF)and the number of journal papers in Chinese publishing system.Design/methodology/approach:The method proposed by Huang(2016)is used whereas to analysis the data of Chinese journals in this study.Findings:Based on the analysis,we find the following.(1)The average impact factor(AIF)of journals in all disciplines maintained a growth trend from 2007 to 2017.Whether before or after removing outlier journals that may garner publication fees,the IF and its growth rate for most social sciences disciplines are larger than those of most natural sciences disciplines,and the number of journal papers on social sciences disciplines decreased while that of natural sciences disciplines increased from 2007 to 2017.(2)The removal of outlier journals has a greater impact on the relationship between the IF and the number of journal papers in some disciplines such as Geosciences because there may be journals that publish many papers to garner publication fees.(3)The success-breeds-success(SBS)principle is applicable in Chinese journals on natural sciences disciplines but not in Chinese journals on social sciences disciplines,and the relationship is the reverse of the SBS principle in Economics and Education&Educational Research.(4)Based on interviews and surveys,the difference in the relationship between the IF and the number of journal papers for Chinese natural sciences disciplines and Chinese social sciences disciplines may be due to the influence of the international publishing system.Chinese natural sciences journals are losing their academic power while Chinese social sciences journals that are less influenced by the international publishing system are in fierce competition.Research limitation:More implications could be found if long-term tracking and comparing the international publishing system with Chinese publishing system are taken.Practical implications:It is suggested that researchers from different countries study natural science and social sciences journals in their languages and observe the influence of the international publishing system.Originality/value:This paper presents an overview of the relationship between IF and the number of journal papers in Chinese publishing system from 2007 to 2017,provides insights into the relationship in different disciplines in Chinese publishing system,and points out the similarities and differences between Chinese publishing system and international publishing system.

Academic integrity disputes in China:a narrative case study

Because the research paper of Alzheimer's disease(AD)new drug(GV-971)was suspected to be fraudulent,the author filed a lawsuit for infringement of reputation.A court in Shanghai rejected the lawsuit.Legal documents openly support academic disputes and criticism.The FDA's approval of the listing of a new AD drug(aducanumab)is also full of controversy,and some scholars suspect that there are problems with clinical data(of course there are scholars who support the listing).Falsification of scientific research and papers is not uncommon in China.In 2021,more than 400 people were publicly investigated for falsification of papers(these papers published in SCI journals).The reason for the prevalence of falsification was related to the promotion policy,evaluation system and economic interests.Academic fraud was a serious waste of funds and corrupted the academic atmosphere.And hinder the development of science and technology.In the past two years,the government has successively promulgated a series of scientific research and academic integrity norms,prohibiting the use of scientific research funds in international predatory journals,advocating the purification of the academic environment,and conducive to genuine innovative research.The court respects science,administration does not interfere with academics,and advocates peer review.The first-instance judgment may be a landmark event for China.

学术履历差异对论文产出跨学科性影响研究——以图书情报领域核心作者为例

[目的/意义]以图书情报领域核心作者为研究对象,分析学术履历差异对其论文产出跨学科的影响,为制定科研人员管理与评价政策、建设高水平交叉科研队伍提供有价值的参考。[方法/过程]首先,通过核心期刊发文量识别出高发文量学者群体,并从中识别出核心学者作为目标学者;其次,采集目标学者的简历信息进行学术履历差异编码,收集论文成果信息测度其最高学历毕业5年内学术论文产出的跨学科性,计算均值后得到学者跨学科性指标;最后,通过相关性分析、多元回归分析探讨学术履历差异与学者跨学科性的关系。[结果/结论]结果表明,在学者年龄较小、毕业时间较近、学术发展背景存在差异、职业发展背景存在差异的情况下,学者会更倾向于进行跨学科研究。其中学术发展背景差异会促使学者进行跨学科研究,但并不直接影响其产出跨学科程度。而毕业时间、职业发展背景的差异会对学者论文产出的跨学科性程度造成影响。

研究生课程论文如何变身为学术论文——一种教育学的视角

研究生课程论文大多参照学术论文的要求完成。不过,从研究生提交的课程论文来看,课程论文却鲜有达到学术论文要求的文本,主要表现为思想创新匮乏、表达规范缺失、对话意识薄弱与书写语病频发。而研究生的课程论文要想变身为学术论文则需追求思想创新、遵循表达规范、增强读者意识与坚守修改合意的策略。

典型高被引撤稿论文的特征及期刊应对策略分析

近年来,随着撤稿数量不断增加,如何应对引用撤稿论文行为是期刊无法回避的新问题。论文撤稿后仍被持续引用的情形并不少见,在知名、高影响因子期刊尤为明显。由于期刊和数据库对撤稿状态标注不规范或作者直接引用较早前下载版本而未重新核实出版状态,部分作者对引用撤稿论文不知情或未标明撤稿状态,期刊则对其潜在危害不够重视,同时也缺乏权威指南或建议可供借鉴。文章展示了撤稿观察近期公布的十大高被引撤稿论文的特征,建议综合考虑撤稿原因、引用动机及引用态度等因素,恰当应对引用撤稿论文行为,从而净化学术氛围、提升出版质量。
