Abstract

Background. The purposes of this study were to determine the quantitative characteristics of the articles published in sports and exercise psychology journals in four quartiles of Web of Science and to understand whether these characteristics had any effect on citation. Methods. Sport and exercise psychology journals indexed under the Sport Sciences subject category were included in the study. A total of 172 articles published in 2017, which was the most recent date meeting inclusion criteria, were collected from four sport and exercise psychology journals included: Psychology of Sport and Exercise (Q1), Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (Q2), Sport Psychologist (Q3), and International Journal of Sport Psychology (Q4). Results. The articles published in Q1 journal were multi-institutional and multinational. Besides, they had longer abstracts and discussions and cited more references. The results revealed that multinational articles and articles with structured abstracts had higher citations than single country articles and articles with unstructured abstracts. The number of affiliated countries and references, and longer titles, abstracts, and introductions were found significantly associated with the number of citations. The bibliometric analysis indicated that the UK, the USA, and Canada were the major contributing countries. Conclusion. This study is the first attempt to investigate the characteristics of articles published in different WoS quartiles within the field of sports and exercise psychology. The findings of the study may help researchers to improve their citation count. Keywords: scientific productivity, essential science indicators, journal impact factor, Web of Science, scientometrics.

不同四分位数发表文章的特点:运动与运动心理学期刊的文献计量学分析

背景。本研究的目的是确定在Web of Science的四个四分位数的体育和运动心理学期刊上发表的文章的数量特征，并了解这些特征是否对引用有影响。方法。在运动科学学科类别下索引的运动和运动心理学期刊被纳入研究。2017年共发表172篇文章，这是符合纳入标准的最新日期，来自四种运动和运动心理学期刊，包括:运动与运动心理学(Q1)，运动与运动心理学杂志(Q2)，运动心理学家(Q3)和国际运动心理学杂志(Q4)。结果。在Q1期刊上发表的文章是多机构和跨国的。此外，他们有更长的摘要和讨论，引用了更多的参考文献。结果表明，跨国文章和结构化摘要文章的引用率高于单一国家文章和非结构化摘要文章。发现附属国家和参考文献的数量、较长的标题、摘要和介绍与引用次数显著相关。文献计量分析表明，英国、美国和加拿大是主要贡献国。结论。本研究首次尝试探讨在运动与运动心理学领域不同WoS四分位数发表的文章的特征。这项研究的发现可能有助于研究人员提高他们的引用数。关键词:科学生产力、基本科学指标、期刊影响因子、Web of science、科学计量学
