電腦科學領域高被引文章與一般文章之書目計量比較分析

Abstract

本研究利用書目計量法分析比較電腦科學領域高被引文章與一般文章之特性，包括基本特性、合著特性，及老化特性，並對臺灣文章同樣進行特性探討。高被引文章蒐集自ESI資料庫，包括1996至2006年共2112篇文章；一般文章檢索自WOS資料庫，包括1996至2006年共2200篇文章。 研究結果顯示，高被引文章平均首次被引年齡較一般文章低，主要由歐美國家所發表；在合著率方面，高被引文章與一般文章皆呈現上升趨勢，以高被引文章合著率較高，達九成，國際合著率同樣是高被引文章較高；分析高被引文章與一般文章之老化曲線可知，高被引文章被引狀況較持久，一般文章則是較早達被引高峰且較早老化。此外，臺灣文章特性與所有文章大致相近，但臺灣的高被引文章數在各國之排名遠不如一般文章，且臺灣的一般文章平均被引次數較所有一般文章低，顯示臺灣文章數量雖不少但品質仍有待提升。

The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of highly cited papers and general papers in computer science field, and papers with Taiwan authors are also analyzed. The characteristics, explored by bibliometric techniques, include primary characteristics, collaboration, and obsolescence. The research papers, from 1996 to 2006, are taken from the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database and the Web of Science (WOS) database. The results of this study suggest that highly cited papers, mainly published by American and European countries, are cited earlier than general papers. The collaboration rate as well as the international collaboration rate of highly cited papers are higher than those of general papers. Moreover, highly cited papers are cited continually; however, citations of general papers decrease rapidly. In addition, the rank of highly cited papers with Taiwan authors is inferior to that of general papers with Taiwan authors. That is to say, the quality of papers in Taiwan needs to be improved.
