摘要

我们对美国环境保护署（EPA）从1980年到2024年编制的255项法规影响分析（ria）的文件进行了文献计量分析。使用一系列自动化信息提取方法，从这些文档中提取参考文献，并将其与书目记录进行匹配。然后，我们建立了相关文章的数据库（无论是否在RIA中被引用），并拟合了一个两阶段回归模型，该模型预测参考文献在RIA中是否被使用以及使用次数，这是期刊声望、专业知名度、文章可及性、EPA资助和EPA员工作为共同作者的参与的函数。通过考虑与类似科学概念相关的被引用和未被引用的文章，我们可以观察到政策分析中使用的研究产品类型的系统性差异。学术知名度、开放获取状态、EPA作者身份和赞助都预示着更有可能和更频繁的文章使用。发表在知名期刊上的文章不太可能被引用，但一旦在语料库中被引用，就会被更频繁地引用。

The Drivers of Science Referenced in US EPA Regulatory Impact Analyses: Open Access, Professional Popularity, and Agency Involvement

We perform bibliometric analysis on documents for 255 Regulatory Impact Analyzes (RIAs) prepared by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from 1980 through 2024. Using a series of automated information extraction methods, we extract references from these documents and match them to bibliographic records. We then build a database of relevant articles (whether cited in an RIA or not) and fit a two-stage regression model that predicts whether, and how many times, a reference is used in RIAs as a function of journal prestige, professional popularity, article accessibility, EPA funding, and involvement of EPA employees as co-authors. By considering cited and uncited articles related to similar scientific concepts, we can observe systematic differences in what types of research products get used in policy analysis. Academic popularity, open access status, and EPA authorship and sponsorship all predict more likely and more frequent article use. Articles in prestigious journals are no more likely to be referenced, but once referenced in the corpus are then referenced more frequently.

期刊介绍： Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
