Abstract:
[Purposes] This study aims to explore the relationship between citation frequency and Altmetrics in clinical medical papers, in order to put forward the strategies to promote the academic influence of medical scientific journals from the perspective of Altmetrics. [Methods] Hot papers of ESI in clinical medical field were used as research targets. The citation frequencies were extracted from Web of Science, Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) from Altmetric.com,PlumX Metrics from Scopus database, including four Altmetrics metadata, i.e., usage, captures, mentions, and social media. Rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation among citation frequency, AAS, and Altmetrics metadata. [Findings] The citation frequency was weakly positively correlated with AAS, moderately positively correlated with the usage, weakly positively correlated with captures and mentions, and very weakly positively correlated with social media. [Conclusions] From the perspective of Altmetrics, medical journal publishers can enhance the academic influence by increasing the exposure of publishing literature in the social communication environment. Specific approaches include enhancing the accessibility of papers, improving friendly docking with document management software, initiatively sending press releases to mainstream media, and establishing encyclopedic entries for original research. Transmitting documents through social media such as Twitter and Facebook has little effect on enhancing academic influence of medical journals.

摘要：
【目的】 探讨临床医学文献被引频次与Altmetrics的关系,以期从Altmetrics视角提出促进医学科技期刊学术影响力提升的策略。【方法】 以ESI热点论文中临床医学论文为研究对象,从Web of Science提取每篇文献的被引频次,从Altmetric.com 提取每篇文献的Altmetric Attention Score(AAS),从Scopus数据库提取每篇文献的PlumX Metrics,包括4项Altmetrics元数据,即使用、捕捉、提及、社交媒体。采用秩相关分析被引频次与AAS、Altmetrics元数据之间的相关关系。【结果】 被引频次与AAS呈弱正相关关系;与Altmetrics元数据中的使用呈中等强度正相关关系,与捕捉、提及呈弱正相关关系,与社交媒体呈微弱正相关关系。【结论】 从Altmetrics视角,可以通过增加出版文献的社交网络曝光度来提升其学术影响力。具体途径包括:增强文献获取的便捷性、与众多文献管理软件友好对接、向主流媒体发送新闻稿以及将原创研究建立百科词条等,以促进出版文献的广泛使用和深度传播;但通过推特、Facebook等社交媒体分享转发文献,对学术影响力提升作用甚微。
