[Purpose/significance] Through the analysis of Mendeley reading data, this paper explores the wider range of paper usage behavior beyond citation behavior, so as to further improve the evaluation system of the influence of academic papers.[Method/process] This paper chose four disciplines:sociology, history, ecology and applied physics. The cited data and reading data were collected from Scopus and Altmetric.com, and the correlation analysis was carried out. The user identity and behavioral characteristics of Top100 papers in Mendeley reading data were explored from three aspects:identity, country and discipline.[Result/conclusion] In the paper collection of four subjects, the usage data of Mendeley is higher than the coverage rate of the cited frequency, which indicates that the analysis of citation is just the tip of the iceberg of the usage analysis. For users with different motivations, there are disciplinary differences in their usage behavior.Users of different countries have different geographical habits in using papers.The interdisciplinary use of academic papers is closely related to their own discipline characteristics.
