摘要:

[目的/意义]引介国外近期关于altmetrics的理论思想和研究共识,以期对我国的altmetrics研究带来启示。[方法/过程]采取多种信息检索方法,如网络检索、博客跟踪、浏览会议网站的方法,查找国内外相关信息,考察altmetrics的早期理论假说、术语提出的方式和过程;引介和分析国外专家的研究共识;研究我国相关的期刊论文和博客文章,总结国内altmetrics的研究现状与问题。[结果/结论]研究发现,国外专家普遍认为altmetrics是对传统引文方法的补充,而不是替代;altmetrics测量的是科学研究的关注度和影响力,而不一定是科学研究的质量;altmetrics应该重新命名为"alternative indicators";传统引文评价方法存在的引文动机、发表时间、学科和地域差异等问题在altmetrics评价中仍然存在。因此,在用altmetrics指标进行评价的过程中,不能仅观察altmetrics应用工具提供的数字,还要考察数据源的类型、具体评价内容,最后通过定量和定性评价方法相结合做出正确的判断。我国altmetrics的相关研究虽然发展迅速,但与国际研究水平仍有较大差距。

Abstract:

[Purpose/significance] This paper introduces the theories, ideas and consensus abroad on altmetrics in order to bring inspiration to scholars in China.[Method/process] The author collected information and articles by taking a variety of retrieval method, such as retrieving the Internet, tracking the blogs, browsing the conference sites. The author reviewed the origin, birth, and development of altmetrics. The author studied the early hypothesis and the way that altmetrics has been coined out. The author introduced and analyzed the consensus of altmetrics scientists. Moreover, the author reviewed the articles and blog papers around altmetrics, and put forward some problems. [Result/conclusion] Altmetrics is a complement but not a instead of traditional citation method. What the altmetrics measure is not quality, but attention and impact. Altmetrics should be renamed as alternative indicators. The cultural problems (such as citation motivation, publication time, disciplinary and region difference) in traditional method still existed in altmetrics. Therefore, we should not only compare the numbers derived from altmetrics products, but also investigate the data source and content of discussion during evaluating scientific ouputs with alternative indicators. In the end, we should make correct judgment with quantitative and qualitative assessment. Altmetrics related research has developed rapidly, but there is a large gap between home and abroad.

Key words: altmetrics, citation analyzing method, science evaluation
