Abstract:

[Purposes] By investigating the difference in the download amount on CNKI for academic papers whether pushed by WeChat or not, we explore the influence of WeChat on communication effects of academic papers. [Methods] We investigated the communication effects of papers on the topic of media convergence published in 15 journals from 2015 to 2019 on WeChat and CNKI, and used the descriptive statistical analysis, comparative analysis, and independent sample t test to analyze the differential performance of academic papers whether pushed by WeChat or not. [Findings] WeChat promotion has disciplinary differences in the communication of academic papers; academic papers pushed via WeChat platforms have better download situation on CNKI than those not pushed via WeChat platforms, indicating that their communication effect is more ideal; and WeChat promotion has no significant effect on the communication of papers for the same author. [Conclusions] Academic journals should increase the promotion of WeChat, and at the same time, they should pay attention to the differences in disciplines and tailor-made WeChat push programs that meet the characteristics of different disciplines.
