Abstract

This paper explores the influence of select economic variables on total citations and citations per document as obtained from Scopus from 2016 to 2018. The analysis considered 32 countries that contribute 90% of the scholarly output. Variables considered in the study included citations, citable documents, total expenditure on R&D per capita ($), researchers in R&D per capita, GDP (PPP) per capita and university education index. Based on multiple regression equation, the output broadly confirms the earlier observation of citation intensity going with wealth intensity of nations. However, on closer examination based on the obtained regression equation, aberration between expected and obtained total citations and citations per document could be observed for India and several other countries. The paper sees a need to include a taxonomy of motivations to cite and contributor taxonomy to make the citation measures meaningful.

经济变量如何影响引文?
本文探讨了2016 - 2018年Scopus数据中选取的经济变量对总被引量和文献被引量的影响。该分析考虑了贡献了90%学术产出的32个国家。研究中考虑的变量包括引文、可引用文件、人均研发总支出($)、人均研发人员、人均GDP (PPP)和大学教育指数。基于多元回归方程的输出结果,大致印证了早先观察到的引文强度随国家财富强度的变化趋势。但是,根据所得的回归方程进行更仔细的检查,可以观察到印度和其他几个国家的预期和实际总引用数与每份文件的引用数之间存在偏差。本文认为有必要包括引用动机分类和贡献者分类,以使引文测量有意义。
