[Purpose/significance] This paper analyzes the influence of publication years on the citation distribution of scholarly books and their discipline differences, which aims at a better use of the citation analysis in the evaluation of scholarly books.[Method/process] We selected all the scholarly books published from 2005 to 2015 in BKCI as the data set. We analyzed the publication quantity, citation frequencies, citation frequency distributions and the citation pattern from two perspectives:year of publication and disciplines.[Result/conclusion] The publication quantity and citation frequencies of scholarly books have shown the same trend from years in different disciplines, but varied in size. Scholarly books in social science, art and humanities have been published in large quantities, but their citations are much lower. In terms of citation frequency distributions, all disciplines have shown the strong polarization. The citation patterns of scholarly books in different disciplines are slightly different.
