论计算机科学科学引文的分类

On the categorization of scientific citation profiles in computer sciences

Tanmoy Chakraborty, Suhansanu Kumar, Pawan Goyal, Niloy Ganguly, Animesh Mukherjee

摘要:

文献中的一个普遍共识是,已发表文章的引用概况一般遵循一种普遍模式-在发表后的前两到三年内,引用数量最初增长,然后是一到两年的稳定峰值,然后在文章的剩余生命周期内最终下降。这一观察长期以来一直是确定主要文献计量学因素(如出版物的质量、科学团体的发展、出版场所的影响因子等)的潜在启发式方法。我们收集并分析了来自计算机科学领域的大量科学论文数据集,并注意到多年来文章的引用计数遵循一组非常不同的模式-具有初始峰值(PeakInit)、具有不同的多个峰值(PeakMul)、具有时间上较晚的峰值(PeakLate)、单调递减(MonDec)、单调递增(MonIncr)并且不能被归类为上述任何一种(Oth)的曲线。我们进行了一个彻底的实验,以调查这些类别的几个重要特征,如个别类别如何吸引引用,分类如何受到年份和论文发表地点的影响,每个类别如何受到自引的影响,类别随时间的稳定性,以及每个类别对网络核心的贡献。此外,我们发现,传统的偏好依恋模型无法解释这些引文配置文件。因此,我们提出了一个新的动态增长模型,同时考虑优先连接和老化因素,以复制各种引文配置文件的真实世界的行为。我们相信,这篇论文打开了一个严肃的重新调查现有的文献计量学指标的科学研究的范围。

英文摘要:

A common consensus in the literature is that the citation profile of published articles in general follows a universal pattern - an initial growth in the number of citations within the first two to three years after publication followed by a steady peak of one to two years and then a final decline over the rest of the lifetime of the article. This observation has long been the underlying heuristic in determining major bibliometric factors such as the quality of a publication, the growth of scientific communities, impact factor of publication venues etc. In this paper, we gather and analyze a massive dataset of scientific papers from the computer science domain and notice that the citation count of the articles over the years follows a remarkably diverse set of patterns - a profile with an initial peak (PeakInit), with distinct multiple peaks (PeakMul), with a peak late in time (PeakLate), that is monotonically decreasing (MonDec), that is monotonically increasing (MonIncr) and that can not be categorized into any of the above (Oth). We conduct a thorough experiment to investigate several important characteristics of these categories such as how individual categories attract citations, how the categorization is influenced by the year and the venue of publication of papers, how each category is affected by self-citations, the stability of the categories over time, and how much each of these categories contribute to the core of the network. Further, we show that the traditional preferential attachment models fail to explain these citation profiles. Therefore, we propose a novel dynamic growth model that takes both the preferential attachment and the aging factor into account in order to replicate the real-world behavior of various citation profiles. We believe that this paper opens the scope for a serious re-investigation of the existing bibliometric indices for scientific research.
