在ResearchGate中可以看到哪些US和欧洲高等教育机构,什么会影响它们的RG分数?
Which US and European Higher Education Institutions are visible in ResearchGate and what affects their RG Score?
摘要:
虽然ResearchGate已经成为最受普通用户欢迎的学术社交网站,但并非所有机构都加入了该网站,而且该网站给学术机构和机构的评分也存在争议。本文评估了2017年欧洲和美国高等教育机构在ResearchGate中的存在,以及机构ResearchGate分数反映机构学术影响力的程度。样本中包括的2258所欧洲和4355所美国高等教育机构中的大多数都有机构ResearchGate简介,在Web of Science(WoS)中发现的博士学位授予机构几乎覆盖了所有机构。对于没有发表论文的非博士学位授予机构,规模(工作人员人数)与ResearchGate的存在最相关。对于WoS中的博士授予机构,RG中的存在与WoS出版物的数量密切相关。总之,a)机构RG分数反映的是研究量而不是知名度,b)该指标与WoS出版物的数量高度相关。因此,RG评分用于机构比较的价值有限。
英文摘要:
While ResearchGate has become the most popular academic social networking site in terms of regular users, not all institutions have joined and the scores it assigns to academics and institutions are controversial. This paper assesses the presence in ResearchGate of higher education institutions in Europe and the US in 2017, and the extent to which institutional ResearchGate Scores reflect institutional academic impact. Most of the 2258 European and 4355 US higher educational institutions included in the sample had an institutional ResearchGate profile, with near universal coverage for PhD-awarding institutions found in the Web of Science (WoS). For non-PhD awarding institutions that did not publish, size (number of staff members) was most associated with presence in ResearchGate. For PhD-awarding institutions in WoS, presence in RG was strongly related to the number of WoS publications. In conclusion, a) institutional RG scores reflect research volume more than visibility and b) this indicator is highly correlated to the number of WoS publications. Hence, the value of RG Scores for institutional comparisons is limited.
