[Purpose/significance] Comparative analysis of the influence of foreign academic electronic books in different disciplines is to enrich evaluation methods of electronic books and provide beneficial preferences for improving the scientific evaluation system of electronic books classification by disciplines.[Method/process] Bookmetrix was used to study academic electronic books in the fields of economics and management and education. The correlation and consistency between their traditional citation metrics and Altmetrics metrics (Mendeley readership, number of followers, number of downloads) and book reviews were quantitatively analyzed to compare the differences between the metrics of foreign electronic books in the two disciplines, and nonparametric tests were performed.[Result/conclusion] This paper finds that:The number of citations, readers, downloads with higher index coverage rate; By Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z independent two-sample test, economics and management and education of electronic books are significantly different from the number of downloads and citations. However, the number of online mentions, readers, reviews of the two has not significant differences (p=0.05); Correction between indicators present discipline differences:The correlation between the citations and the number of Mendeley readers of economics and management books is higher than that of education books. Citations show academic influence of academic e-books, and usage data (the number of downloads, etc.) and Altmetrics data reflect more societal impact of books. For the evaluation of Chinese academic e-books, multi-source heterogeneous data processing should be transformed, a multi-indicator evaluation system should be constructed, and qualitative and quantitative methods should be combined to make the evaluation more comprehensive and scientific.
