摘要

评估研究经费的有效性对政策制定者具有重要价值。以往的研究主要集中在受资助研究的学术影响上,但对研究经费如何影响研究的社会知名度的探讨却明显不足。因此,本研究针对这一空白,对中国学者发表的论文进行了研究,并比较了研究经费对论文社会知名度的影响(以 Altmetric Attention Scores 为衡量标准)和对论文学术影响力的影响(以引用次数为衡量标准)。这项研究揭示了几个有趣的发现:首先,与没有经费支持的研究相比,有经费支持的研究尽管学术影响力较高,但社会知名度较低。其次,与没有研究经费的论文相比,获得少量或中等数量经费支持的研究的社会知名度仍然较低。相反,如果论文的研究资金来源较多,其学术影响力就会较高。第三,资助对论文学术影响力和社会知名度的影响因资助机制而异--拥有行业资助会显著提高研究的社会知名度。这些发现有助于研究决策者做出资金分配决策,并为更好地评估研究成果提供信息。

Effects of research funding on the academic impact and societal visibility of scientific research
Assessing the effectiveness of research funding is of significant value to policymakers. Previous studies have mainly concentrated on the academic impact of funded research, yet the exploration of how research funding affects the societal visibility of research has been significantly lacking. Thus, this study addresses this gap by examining papers published by Chinese scholars and compares the effects of funding on papers’ societal visibility (measured by Altmetric Attention Scores) with those for papers' academic impact (measured by citation counts). This study reveals several interesting findings: First, research supported by funding demonstrates a lower societal visibility, albeit a higher academic impact, compared to those without funding. Second, the societal visibility of research supported by small to moderate number of funding sources is still lower than those without research funding. In contrast, a paper's academic impact is higher if it has a higher number of research funding sources. Third, the effects of funding on papers’ academic impact and societal visibility differ by funding mechanisms—having industry funding significantly increases the societal visibility of research. These findings can aid research policymakers’ funding allocation decisions and inform better assessment of research outcomes.
