学术社交网络服务中的用户参与：Mendeley上开放组用户的调查
User Participation in an Academic Social Networking Service: A Survey of Open Group Users on Mendeley
摘要：
虽然有一些专门针对学者的社交网络服务，但很少有关于这些所谓的学术社交网络服务（ASNS）的实际做法和使用情况的报道。为了填补这一空白，我们探讨了使用ASNS从事社会活动的学者群体;作为进一步参与的指标，我们还确定了他们加入ASNS团体的各种动机。使用组和他们的成员在Mendeley作为我们的案例研究的平台，我们获得了146个参与者的回应，从我们的在线调查用户的共同活动，使用习惯，和加入组的动机。我们的研究结果表明，1）参与者没有像参与研究功能那样频繁和积极地参与基于社交的功能，2）加入更多组的用户似乎有更强的动机来提高他们的专业知名度，并将他们阅读的研究文章贡献给组阅读列表。我们的研究结果产生有趣的见解Mendeley的用户群，他们的活动，他们的动机相对于Mendeley的社会功能。我们还认为，ASNS的进一步设计需要更多地考虑学科差异，在学术交流，并建立激励机制，鼓励用户参与。
英文摘要：
Although there are a number of social networking services that specifically target scholars, little has been published about the actual practices and the usage of these so-called academic social networking services (ASNSs). To fill this gap, we explore the populations of academics who engage in social activities using an ASNS; as an indicator of further engagement, we also determine their various motivations for joining a group in ASNSs. Using groups and their members in Mendeley as the platform for our case study, we obtained 146 participant responses from our online survey about users' common activities, usage habits, and motivations for joining groups. Our results show that 1) participants did not engage with social-based features as frequently and actively as they engaged with research-based features, and 2) users who joined more groups seemed to have a stronger motivation to increase their professional visibility and to contribute the research articles they had read to the group reading list. Our results generate interesting insights into Mendeley's user populations, their activities, and their motivations relative to the social features of Mendeley. We also argue that further design of ASNSs is needed to take greater account of disciplinary differences in scholarly communication and to establish incentive mechanisms for encouraging user participation.
