Abstract

[Purpose/significance] In recent years, hot papers have been paid more and more attention by academia. A few research results have begun to explore the characteristics of hot papers themselves, but the research on influencing factors and other laws is still insufficient.[Method/process] Based on this, this study uses TF-IDF algorithm and negative binomial regression model to explore the distribution characteristics, influencing factors, time window differences and disciplines type differences of hot papers.[Result/conclusion] The results show that the distribution characteristics of hot papers focus on developed countries, well-known research institutions, interdisciplinary and authoritative journals, and are influenced by refined titles, inter-country cooperation, research output, open access, high-impact factor journals and other factors; hot papers have time window effect, and even change the titles, abstracts, open access and other factors. The differences among disciplines have an impact on hot papers, and there are differences in title, abstract, scientific research cooperation, literature type, open access and journal impact factors.
