[Purpose/significance] This paper discusses the users' motivation to publish short reviews on the Douban Reading platform, and tries to judge whether the short reviews are effective as indicators to evaluate the influence of books, so as to get inspiration for the indicator construction for Altmetrics to assess Chinese academic books.[Method/process] Taking the top 10 cited books of ancient Chinese academic ones published in the CBKCI statistical report as samples, this paper used the grounded theory to analyze the 1,142 "short comments" of the sample books on Douban Reading website, and explored the motivation of the short comments and its availability to assess the social influences of academic books.[Result/conclusion] 6 main motivation for users to generate short reviews are identified, such as discussion, sharing entertainment, external pressure, emotional venting, and data acquisition. Among them, the "discussion" motivationis is the main one and its two sub-motivations "expressing personal experiences or ideas related to books" and "expressing opinions or personal explanations on books" account for more than 40% of all short review data. It indicates that most users do not only just copy a certain sentence or a certain chapter of a book, but try to find and spread the most valuable information of the book. Such short-review data can be used to evaluate Chinese academic books. Others motivation, such as "share", "recreational entertainment", "outside pressure", "emotional vent", and "data acquisition", are relatively difficult to reflect well users' attitude and cognition about the books, and these data should not be included in the Altmetrics index to evaluate Chinese academic books.
