Abstract

Abstract The nonmentioned phenomenon is when citations or references are missing from the body of the paper, and the phenomenon may be abnormal citing behavior that results from the negligence of the author or editor. Therefore, this study selected 40 journals in five different disciplines and carried out a comparative study. The research methods employed in this study were multivariate statistical analysis and similarity calculations. The results show that 3.45% of papers included the nonmentioned phenomenon and that the similarity between nonmentioned references and the cited paper are so low as to disqualify part of the nonmentioned references. Further, since the nonmentioned phenomenon did not appear in 96.55% of papers, it can be concluded that although most of the papers are consistent with citation normativeness, the nonmentioned phenomenon does exist in scientific papers. This study provides evidence to suggest that the nonmentioned phenomenon should receive more attention in the academic world.

学术论文中提到的参考文献都有吗？非常规现象的定量分析

摘要未提及现象是指论文正文中缺少引文或参考文献，这种现象可能是由于作者或编辑的疏忽而导致的异常引用行为。因此，本研究选取了5个不同学科的40种期刊进行比较研究。本研究采用多元统计分析和相似度计算的研究方法。结果表明，3.45%的论文存在未被提及的现象，未被提及的参考文献与被引论文的相似度很低，导致部分未被提及的参考文献被取消资格。进一步，由于96.55%的论文没有出现未提及现象，因此可以得出结论，虽然大多数论文符合引文规范，但科学论文中确实存在未提及现象。本研究提供的证据表明，这一未被提及的现象应该得到学术界的更多关注。
