摘要

Google Scholar (GS)、Scopus和Web of Science (WoS)的可靠性是通过对14个美国广告和公共关系(ADPR)项目的186位学者的出版物和引用进行检验的。控制职业持续时间，提出综合影响(II)指标作为实际解决方案。结果表明，在GS的搜索参数的不确定性和Scopus和WoS的精选集合之间存在权衡，这可能会低估一些有影响力的作者或作品。为了进一步证明这门学科的价值，我们必须更加注重方法的严谨性和准确性，从而提高结果。

Evaluating Reliability of Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science: A Study of Faculty in U.S. Advertising and Public Relations Programs

Reliability of Google Scholar (GS), Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS) is examined using publications and citations of 186 scholars in 14 U.S. advertising and public relations (ADPR) programs. Career duration is controlled, and an integrated impact (II) index is proposed as a practical solution. Results suggest there are trade-offs between the uncertainty of GS’s search parameters for more inclusive coverage and the curated collections of Scopus and WoS that might undercount some influential authors or works. To further demonstrate the discipline’s value, we must pay more attention to rigor and accuracy of methods that will lead to improved outcomes.
