Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Open science emphasizes the social influence of scientific research achievements. As an important manifestation of scientific research achievements in philosophy and social sciences, it is necessary to evaluate and study the social influence of academic books in the discipline. [Method/Process] Combined with existing research and the characteristics of online communication of academic books in an open science environment, Altmetrics index was mined based on domestic network media platforms to explore and establish a set of index system for evaluating the social influence of academic books in philosophy and social sciences. The award-winning books of the 14-16th Jiangsu Philosophy and Social Sciences Outstanding Achievement Award were taken as research samples. The principal component analysis method was used for weight analysis. [Result/Conclusion] The Altmetrics index data for philosophy and social sciences academic books are quite different, and the correlation between the indexes of different platforms is low. A big gap exists in the social influence of high-quality academic books. Under different evaluation dimensions, there are obvious differences in the influence of academic books in philosophy and social sciences. Authors should strengthen the understanding of open science, actively promote their academic books through various network platforms. The establishment of social influence data integration platform is important to ensure the effectiveness and stability of data. It should strengthen the evaluation of social influence of books, and more comprehensively evaluate the influence of academic books. The relevant policies can encourage the promotion of social influence of academic books.
