摘要: 为分析替代计量(Altmetrics)对研究的社会影响力的评价效果,以国际流行引文数据库为基准,以519893篇文献为样本,对Altmetrics在研究的社会影响力评价中的可靠性进行评估验证。其中,基于Web of Science数据库,借助VOSviewer将2010—2020年Altmetrics研究论文可视化,以显示Altmetrics与研究的社会影响力的交集;同时,采用Stata16对RCR、CNCI、Dimensions、Mendeley、Twitter、被引频次等进行相关、偏相关与主成分分析,并对Altmetrics指标含义进行解读,将Altmetrics划分为Mendeley等类引用指标及Twitter等关注型指标。结果表明,Altmetrics与社会影响力评价目标有所偏离;Mendeley以0.76的主成分载荷划入引用维的结果表明其可以作为论文学术影响力的早期替代指标;Altmetrics评价中构念效度的缺失说明目前缺乏Altmetrics用于社会影响力评价的理论依据,而案例研究仍是首选方法。

Abstract: To investigate the effectiveness of Altmetrics in measuring societal impact, this paper carried out some quantitative analysis and verification, with 519893 papers from the international popular citation databases as samples. Based on Web of Science, our article visualized the research papers on Altmetrics from 2010 to 2020 with the help of VOSviewer. The visualization result has demonstrated the intersection between Altmetrics and societal impact. In parallel, correlation analysis,partial correlation analysis and principal component analysis were undertaken by Stata16 among RCR, CNCI, Dimensions, Mendeley, Twitter and times cited to interpret the implications of Altmetrics indicators, and then Altmetrics was divided into citation-like indicators(i.e.,Mendeley) and attention indicators(i.e., Twitter). The results show that Altmetrics deviates from the goal of societal impact. Mendeley is included in the citation-like indicators with a principal component load of 0.76, indicating that it can be used as an early substitute indicator for papers’ scientific impact. The lack of construct validity in the current studies indicates the absence of theoretical basis in terms of the application of Altmetrics into societal impact measuring, and it also means that the case study method remains the favored one.
