摘要

摘要：科学界，尤其是新手研究人员，并不知道许多具有误导性的科学指标。在误导性指标领域的研究有限，尤其是与商业期刊有关的研究。因此，本研究旨在检查商业期刊使用误导性指标的情况，最流行的误导性指标，以及这些指标对网站流量的贡献国。我们对商业期刊使用了Scimago排名，并检查了每种期刊的网站是否使用了误导性指标。此外，我们使用了一种基于域的方法，从搜索引擎优化网站（即Alexa和Ubersuggest）收集数据。只有少数Scopus索引的低质量商业期刊在其网站上使用了误导性指标。最常见的误导性指标是国际科学研究所、开放学术期刊索引、CiteFactor、IndexCopernicus和国际科学索引。此外，印度作家是误导性指标网站的最频繁访问者。

How Frequent is the Use of Misleading Metrics? A Case Study of Business Journals

ABSTRACT There are many misleading scientific metrics that are not known to the scientific community, particularly novice researchers. There is limited research in the area of misleading metrics, particularly related to business journals. Therefore, this research aims to examine the use of misleading metrics by business journals, the most popular misleading metrics, and countries contributing to the website traffic for such metrics. We used Scimago ranking for business journals and examined the website of each for the use of misleading metrics. Further, we used a domain-based approach by gathering data from Search Engine Optimization websites (i.e., Alexa and Ubersuggest). Only a few Scopus-indexed, low-quality business journals used misleading metrics on their website. The most common misleading metrics were International Scientific Institute, Open Academic Journals Index, CiteFactor, IndexCopernicus, and International Scientific Indexing. In addition, Indian authors were the most frequent visitors of the websites of misleading metrics.

期刊介绍： The Serials Librarian is an international journal covering all aspects of the management of serials and other continuing resources in any format—print, electronic, etc.—ranging from their publication, to their abstracting and indexing by commercial services, and their collection and processing by libraries. The journal provides a forum for discussion and innovation for all those involved in the serials information chain, but especially for librarians and other library staff, be they in a single (continuing resources) department or in collection development, acquisitions, cataloging/metadata, or information technology departments.
