摘要:

【目的】从低被引论文所占比例及分布情况出发考察期刊学术质量,呼吁编辑同行做引文分析时可适当关注低被引论文情况,以期全方位认识刊物存在的问题。【方法】选取零被引率、一次被引率、一次被引率减零被引率、二次被引率减一次被引率4种指标,定量考察光电类期刊、电子通信类期刊、工程技术综合类高校学报的载文低被引情况,同时将其和主流正向指标进行比较,发现二者排名并非一致。【结果】我国科技期刊普遍存在低被引论文所占比例高的现象,收稿范围越大类别的期刊问题越突出,且反向考察期刊论文低被引情况能对正向指标表征的期刊评价信息予以补充。【结论】科技期刊编辑可从低被引论文所占比例、指标历年变化趋势、被引次数分布等几方面对期刊现状予以关注。

Abstract:

[Purposes]This paper aims at inspecting the academ ic quality of sci-tech journals from proportion and distribution of low cited papers.Due attention to the situation of low cited papers should be paid,so as to comprehensively recognize the problems of journals.[Methods]Zero cited rate, once cited rate, once cited ratem inus zero cited rate and secondary cited ratem inus once cited rate, these four indexes were selected to quantitatively inspect the journals of optoelectronics, electronic communication, and comprehensive engineering and technology universities about the conditions of low cited papers.The processed reverse indicators were compared w ith themainstream positive indicators, and it can be found that the rankingswere not consistent.[Findings]The proportions of low cited papers of our sci-tech journals are very high, and the greater the receivedrange is, the more serious the phenomenon becomes.Reversely investigating the situation of low cited papers can complement the journal evaluation information of positive indicators.[Conclusions] Editors of scientific journals can pay attention to the proportion, trends of indicators over the years,and distribution of citations of low cited papers.

Key words: Academ ic quality, Times cited, Zero cited, Reverse indicators, Distribution of citations
