影响因子、特征因子与其他计量指标的相关性研究--基于经济学期刊面板数据的分析

摘要

选取2007-2012年JCR经济学专业期刊的数据，建立面板数据回归模型分析影响因子、特征因子二者之间以及与其他计量指标的相关关系。研究表明影响因子与特征因子之间不存在相关性，二者有不同的侧重点；影响因子与5年影响因子为趋同指标；总被引频次与这两个指标均正向相关；即年指标在表征期刊即时反应速率方面的作用不可替代。据此提出我国社会科学评价体系中应该引入特征因子等新兴计量指标，完善目前较为单一的指标体系。%This paper analyzes the correlation among impact factor, eigenfactor and other bibliometric indicators based on the panel data of JCR economic journals from 2007 to 2012. The result shows that impact factor is not correlated with eigenfactor;indeed, these two indica-tors have different emphasis. Convergence is seen between impact factor and 5-year impact factor. The total cited indicator is positively correlated to impact factor and eigenfactor. The immediacy index is a necessary indicator to measure the instant reaction rate of a journal. Accordingly, to improve the current evaluation index system, new bibliometric indicators should be introduced into the evaluation system of social science journals.
