基金鸣谢作为研究数据的可靠性:来自天文学的证据

On the Reliability of Funding Acknowledgements as Research Data: Evidence from Astronomy

Gretchen Stahlman

摘要:

在线书目数据库使新的研究成为可能,通过这些研究,书目记录被分析为关于科学的数据。在这些记录中,论文的致谢部分经常被用来得出关于已发表研究的资金支持的结论。虽然致谢和资助声明可以为研究和政策制定提供信息,但这张海报补充了一系列文献,强调了科学计量和政策研究资助数据的局限性,使用了从天文学期刊文章作者问卷调查中收集的证据。该研究表明,只有71.4%的论文作者通过引用与NSF资助挂钩,在调查中报告NSF资助了相应论文中的研究。对调查问卷进行了简要分析,并提出了进一步研究的建议和考虑。报告中的差异似乎表明,资金流可能是流动的,对作者来说并不总是显而易见的,总体上提出了什么样的研究应该用资金声明来解决的问题,在概念上将论文直接与赠款联系起来并不简单。

英文摘要:

Online bibliographic databases have enabled new research through which bibliographic records are analyzed as data about science. Within these records, the acknowledgements sections of papers are often used to draw conclusions about funding support for published research. While acknowledgements and funding statements can be informative for research and policy development, this poster adds to a body of literature that highlights limitations of funding data for scientometric and policy research, using evidence gathered from a questionnaire of authors of astronomy journal articles. The study shows that only 71.4% of a sample of authors of papers tied to NSF grants through acknowledgements reported in the survey that NSF funded the research presented in the respective papers. A brief analysis of the questionnaire followed by recommendations and considerations for further research are presented. The discrepancy in reporting appears to indicate that funding streams can be fluid and not always apparent to authors, overall raising the question of what sorts of research should be addressed with funding statements, where conceptually tying a paper directly to a grant is not straightforward.
