论文摘要
在过去的十年中,研究传播中出现了两个重要的现象:开放访问(OA)出版的兴起以及以Altmetrics形式进行在线共享的证据。 OA对期刊文章的在线共享的影响的研究有限,很少有书籍。本文研究了一组32,222本书(其中5%的OA)和一组220,527章(其中7%为OA)的高度学分,该章节由社会科学和人文学术中的学术数据库维度索引。 OA书籍和章节在社交网络,大众媒体和博客中的覆盖范围更高,以及在政策文件中的社会影响率更高的证据。 OA章节对Wikipedia的覆盖率高于其非OA等效物,并且更有可能在Mendeley上共享。即使在人文科学和社会科学中,高音活动的纪律差异也很明显。章节的效果已得到证实,尽管采样问题阻止了OA在整本书层面上有助于额外关注的强烈结论,但明显的OA Altmetrics Advantage表明,向OA迈进的转变正在增加社交共享和更广泛的影响。
The last decade has seen two significant phenomena emerge in research communication: the rise of open access (OA) publishing, and evidence of online sharing in the form of altmetrics. There has been limited examination of the effect of OA on online sharing for journal articles, and little for books. This paper examines the altmetrics of a set of 32,222 books (of which 5% are OA) and a set of 220,527 chapters (of which 7% are OA) indexed by the scholarly database Dimensions in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Both OA books and chapters have significantly higher use on social networks, higher coverage in the mass media and blogs, and evidence of higher rates of social impact in policy documents. OA chapters have higher rates of coverage on Wikipedia than their non-OA equivalents, and are more likely to be shared on Mendeley. Even within the Humanities and Social Sciences, disciplinary differences in altmetric activity are evident. The effect is confirmed for chapters, although sampling issues prevent the strong conclusion that OA facilitates extra attention at whole book level, the apparent OA altmetrics advantage suggests that the move towards OA is increasing social sharing and broader impact.
