Abstract:
The purpose of scientific research is to search for truth and advance knowledge. Chinese scientists disseminated their research internationally and contributed to the global science in the past 20 years. They have been encouraged to publish internationally in order to demonstrate China's achievement in science. As a result,the number of China's international publications has been increasing in the past 20 years,and China has been the largest source country for global scientific literature. China's publications have also been highly cited. However,most citations to China's publications are from home,which inflates the citation rate of China's publications and leads to the overestimation of China's research impact.
In order to investigate the true international impact of China's publications,this study analyzes 23382313 Web of Science (WoS) publications published between 1990 and 2015 as well as their citations received three years after,and compares the citation rate and the ratio of papers cited between China and the rest of world as self citations were excluded. The findings indicate that the citation rate of China's publications is still lower than the global average when self citations are not counted. This study also investigates the true international impact of China's publications by discipline,and finds that,if self citations were removed,the citation rates of China's publications are lower than the global average in all disciplines except for clinic medicine and physics.
In addition,this study further explores the possible reasons for the high self citation rate of China's publications. The findings reveal that both the increasing shares of China's publications in global literature and the accessibility of international literature may lead Chinese scholars to cite more local literature;but less citations received internationally is the major factor resulting in the high self citation rate of China's publications.
Eventually,this study summarizes the major findings in the conclusion and discusses the implications for research evaluation and administration. It suggests that disciplinary bias should be considered in research evaluation international impact should not be used in research evaluation in social sciences and humanities (SSH) since it is difficult for local research in SSH to attract international attention and receive citations. 5 figs. 2 tabs. 64 refs.
中文摘要:
      科学研究的目的在于创造知识,并应用理论成果解决我国社会、经济、文化等发展中的实际问题。将论文发表在国际期刊上可以让更多的国际同行了解我国最新的科研成果,为我国获得更多的国际影响力,所以在过去二十多年里SCI论文成为我国科研考核的一个重要指标。在这种科研评价导向下,我国学者发表的国际论文数量已居世界第一位,而大量来自国内同行的引用使得我国国际论文的被引量排名世界第二。本文提取1990至2015年Web of Science论文及其引文的数据,分析不同国家、不同学科在国家层次的自引情况,并在不同国家、不同学科之间进行比较。研究发现,在排除国内同行的自引后,我国国际论文的真实国际影响力仍然有限,除了临床医学和物理等少数学科外,其他学科仍然低于全球平均水平。图5。表2。参考文献64。
