摘要

[目的/意义] 提出用“社交媒体计量学”这一术语概括以社交媒体信息为逻辑起点的系列计量研究的构想,并论述在Altmetrics逐渐发展成熟的背景下提出社交媒体计量学的必要性。[方法/过程] 梳理社交媒体的定义、特点和类型,介绍Altmetrics诞生前和发展过程中产生的相关术语概念,界定社交媒体计量学的概念与研究内容,同时分析比较社交媒体计量学与Altmetrics之间的相互关系,分别从对Altmetrics和对计量学科整体发展作用的角度论证用“社交媒体计量学”这一术语概括以社交媒体信息为逻辑起点的系列计量研究的科学性、客观性和合理性。[结果/结论] 社交媒体计量学是在以社交媒体为场景的网络环境下呼之欲出的计量学分支学科,它围绕社交媒体这一新的信息载体,研究社交媒体用户之间及其与科学信息的交互特征与规律,从而提炼社交媒体信息的科学价值。这一术语的提出能够为社交媒体相关计量研究尤其是国内研究开辟新的研究思路,从而促进学科整体发展。

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] The paper aims to present the idea of using the term Social Mediametrics to summarize a series of metrics studies that take social media information as a logical starting point, and discusses the necessity of building social mediametrics in the context of the maturing of Altmetrics. [Method/Process] This paper presented the definition, characteristics and types of social media, introduced the related terminology and concepts generated before and during the development of Altmetrics, defined the concept and research content of social mediametrics, and analyzed the interrelationship between social mediametrics and Altmetrics, and justified the scientificity, objectivity and rationality of using the term Social Mediametrics to summarize the series of metrics research from the perspective of its role in Altmetrics and in the overall development of informetrics. [Result/Conclusion] Social mediametrics is a sub-discipline of informetrics that emerges in the context of social media as the scene of the network environment. It focuses on social media as a new information carrier, and studies the characteristics and regulations of the interaction between social media users and scientific information, so as to refine the scientific value of social media information. The proposed terminology can open up new research ideas for social media-related metrics research, especially for domestic research, and thus promote the overall development of the discipline.
