Abstract

Abstract The present study is aimed toward examining the attention received by research papers through social and electronic media in business research. In recent years, altmetrics has emerged as a complementary measure of the impact of research works besides citation analysis and bibliometrics. Using the altmetric attention score (AAS) the paper is the first research of its kind to shed light on the characteristics of 100 papers receiving the highest online attention. Various predictors of online engagement with articles in business research journals having an impact factor greater than 6 are discussed. Data was collected from the Dimensions.ai database and analyzed using R statistical software. It is found that the Journal of Business Ethics contributed maximum papers with the highest AAS followed by the Journal of Business Research. Using the Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test it was determined that AAS in business research is dependent upon article type, topics, and journal of publication. Most of the papers in high impact factor business journals have been contributed by the authors of USA, UK and China.

商业研究论文在线关注度的测量:高影响因子期刊的替代研究

摘要本研究旨在探讨透过社交媒体及电子媒体进行商业研究的论文所受到的关注。近年来，除了引文分析和文献计量学之外，另类计量学作为一种研究成果影响的补充测量方法出现了。利用替代注意力评分(AAS)，这篇论文是同类研究中首次揭示了100篇获得最高在线关注的论文的特征。讨论了影响因子大于6的商业研究期刊文章在线参与的各种预测因素。数据是从维度中收集的。并使用R统计软件进行分析。研究发现，《商业伦理杂志》发表的论文最多，AAS最高，其次是《商业研究杂志》。使用Kruskal-Wallis秩和检验确定商业研究中的AAS依赖于文章类型，主题和出版期刊。高影响因子商业期刊的论文大部分来自美国、英国和中国。
