    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Library Science submitted time 2023-08-27 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] This paper systematically defines the related concepts of counting methods and establishes the counting methods classification. Then, it concludes the characteristics and differences of counting methods, analyzes the existing problems and proposes some suggestions for the future improvement and selection of counting methods.[Method/process] Firstly, the paper generalized the elements and the process of counting methods, proposed two classified factors of counting methods from the perspective of credit allocation, including full counts and fractional counts, and then, we summarized the two methods. Secondly, the paper took full counts and factional counts as an example to compare the differences between two types of methods from three perspectives included publication indicators, citation indicators and network indicators.[Result/conclusion] Finally, we develop a brief description of existing problems, which include the advantages and disadvantages of full counts and fractional counts, the consistency between the basic unit and count object, the rationality of credit allocation and measurement of network impact. Besides, we point out the further research space of the above problems.

  • Exploring the Features and Impact of Research Crowdfunding Projects: A Case Study of Experiment

    Subjects: Library Science,Information Science >> Library Science submitted time 2023-07-26 Cooperative journals: 《图书情报工作》

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] This paper tersely summarizes the development status of the research crowdfunding model, uses the Experiment platform as the research object, and designs indicators to analyze the basic features of the projects, the impact of the project outputs and the content characteristics. This study can develop the research crowdfunding model, help to understand the new research activities in an open science environment and provide relevant suggestions for project applicants and funders.[Method/process] Firstly, the paper gets data from the research crowdfunding website "Experiment" and designs a series of indicators to evaluate them. Secondly, this paper analyzes the overall scale, success rate, staff scale, research cycle, countries, organizations, funding levels and other features of research crowdfunding projects. In addition, the paper focuses on the lab notes, which are the outputs of research crowdfunding projects, analyzing the numbers of lab note, view, like and comment based on the disciplinary characteristics so that it can reveal the scale and impact of these outputs.[Result/conclusion] Finally, the result shows that the research crowdfunding projects of "Experiment" are characterized by small-scale, short accomplishing time and strong participation, meanwhile, the scale and impact of projects' outputs in biology and ecology are more prominent than other disciplines.
