摘要

最近对Journal of Informetrics （Donner, 2024）的贡献提出了关于文献计量计数方法的性质和影响的重要问题，主要集中在我们五年前对同一期刊的贡献（Sivertsen, Rousseau, and Zhang, 2019），我们开发并提出了一种新的计数方法，称为修正分数计数（MFC），用于测量机构或国家等总体水平的科学生产。保罗·唐纳（Paul Donner）指出了MFC指标可能存在的四个问题，这些问题以前没有讨论过。其中两个提出了科学计量学和研究政策研究中关于研究对象的基本问题，另外两个涉及负责任的研究评估和资助的核心讨论。我们从概念上和新的经验信息上回答了这四个问题。

The motivations for and effects of modified fractional counting

A recent contribution to Journal of Informetrics (Donner, 2024) raised important questions about the properties and effects of bibliometric counting methods, mainly focusing on our contribution to the same journal five years ago (Sivertsen, Rousseau, and Zhang, 2019) where we developed and proposed a new counting method called modified fractional counting (MFC) for the measurement of scientific production at aggregate levels such as institutions or countries. Paul Donner identified four possible problems with the MFC indicator that have not been discussed before. Two of them raise fundamental questions about the object of study in scientometrics and research policy studies while the other two are related to the core discussions about responsible research assessment and funding. We respond to all four problems, both conceptually and with new empirical information.

期刊介绍： Journal of Informetrics (JOI) publishes rigorous high-quality research on quantitative aspects of information science. The main focus of the journal is on topics in bibliometrics, scientometrics, webometrics, patentometrics, altmetrics and research evaluation. Contributions studying informetric problems using methods from other quantitative fields, such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics and econometrics, and network science, are especially encouraged. JOI publishes both theoretical and empirical work. In general, case studies, for instance a bibliometric analysis focusing on a specific research field or a specific country, are not considered suitable for publication in JOI, unless they contain innovative methodological elements.
