摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文以JCR中2013年影响因子排名前20的经济类期刊2000-2014年共15221篇论文为样本，在比较了各种估计模型后选用负二项回归模型研究了作者数量、参考文献数量、论文长度、是否基金资助、期刊影响因子、发表年份、研究方向等因素对论文被引频次的影响，结果发现上述因素整体上对论文被引频次具有显著的影响，其中：作者数量、参考文献数量、论文长度、是否基金资助、期刊影响因子与被引频次具有显著的正向关系，发表年份与被引频次之间存在显著的倒U型关系，不同研究方向论文的被引频次具有明显差异。因此，本文认为被引频次是一个有偏的科研质量评估工具。

Abstract: Using a total of 15221 papers from 2000 to 2014 in the top 20 economic journals (ranking by the 2013 JCR impact factor) as a sample, after comparing various estimation models, we select the negative binomial regression model to study the influence of author number, reference number, paper length, whether funded, journal impact factor, year to publication and research direction on the paper citation frequency. The result shows that all the factors as a whole has a significant impact on the citation frequency, including: author number, reference number, paper length, whether funded, journal impact factor has a significant positive relationship with citation frequency; there is an inverted U-shape relationship between year of publication and citation frequency and it has obvious differences of citation frequency among papers of different research directions. Therefore, we argue that citation frequency is not an unbiased tool to evaluate the scientific research quality.
