摘要

近年来,学术领域发生了重大变革,这主要归功于信息技术工具的进步,而这些工具在出版界有利有弊。从传统的大学图书馆搜索过渡到数字时代,人们可以访问 Pubmed、Scopus、Web of Science 和 Google Scholar 等各种信息来源,这彻底改变了研究实践。得益于技术的发展,研究人员、学者和学生现在可以快速、广泛地获取信息,从而加快了稿件的准备工作,提高了文献计量参数。为了识别作者 "自我扭曲 "的文献计量参数,继赫希指数(h-index)(基于引文)之后,又提出了不同的指数。新的 "fi-score "评估了单个作者引用次数的可靠性,并验证了其 h-index 的准确性,它将引用次数与 h-index 值进行比较,以突出那些不符合标准且可能受作者自身影响或扭曲的值。研究还考察了作者的引文对其 h 指数的影响,尽管他们没有自我引用。研究以 194,983 位研究人员为样本计算了 fi-score。结果显示,fi-score 的平均值为 25.03,最高值不得超过 32。fi 分数是对现有指数的补充,揭示了研究人员的实际科学影响力。总之,文献计量学参数有了长足的发展,为了解研究人员的贡献提供了宝贵的视角。fi 分数是一种很有前途的新指标,它能更全面、更公正地评估学术影响力。通过考虑引用和自引的影响,fi-score 解决了传统指数的局限性,使学术界能够更好地认识和认可个人贡献。

Detecting the Impact of Academics Self-Citations: Fi-Score

Detecting the Impact of Academics Self-Citations: Fi-Score

The academic landscape has witnessed significant transformations in recent years, primarily attributed to advancements in IT tools, which have advantages and drawbacks in the world of publications. The transition from traditional university library searches to the digital era, with access to various information sources such as Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar, has revolutionized research practices. Thanks to technology, researchers, academics and students now enjoy rapid and vast information access, facilitating quicker manuscript preparation and boosting bibliometric parameters. To identify authors “self-distorted” bibliometric parameters, different indices following the Hirsch index (h-index) (based on citations) have been proposed. The new “fi-score” evaluates the reliability of citation counts for individual authors and validates the accuracy of their h-index, comparing the number of citations to the h-index value to highlight value that is not within the norm and probably influenced or distorted by authors themselves. It examines how authors’ citations impact their h-index, although they are not self-citing. The study calculated the fi-score on a sample of 194,983 researchers. It shows that the average value of the fi-score is 25.03 and that a maximum value admissible as good must not exceed 32. The fi-score complements existing indexes, shedding light on the actual scientific impact of researchers. In conclusion, bibliometric parameters have evolved significantly, offering valuable insights into researchers’ contributions. The fi-score emerges as a promising new metric, providing a more comprehensive and unbiased evaluation of scholarly impact. By accounting for the influence of citations and self-citations, the fi-score addresses the limitations of traditional indices, empowering academic communities to recognize better and acknowledge individual contributions.

期刊介绍: Publishing Research Quarterly is an international forum for the publication of original peer-reviewed papers covering significant research on and analyses of the full range of the publishing environment. The journal provides analysis of content development, production, distribution, and marketing of books, magazines, journals, and online information services in relation to the social, political, economic, and technological conditions that shape the publishing process, extending from editorial decision-making to order processing to print and online delivery.  Publishing Research Quarterly publishes significant research reports and analyses of industry trends, covering topics such as product development, marketing, financial aspects, and print and online distribution as well as the relationship between publishing activities and publishing’s constituencies among industry, government, and consumer communities. Scholarly articles, research reports, review papers, essays, surveys, memoirs, statistics, letters, and notes that contribute to knowledge about how different sectors of the publishing industry operate are published as well as book reviews.
