Analysis of the Citation Breadth and Citation Depth of the Author's Literature
Explore the relationship between cited breadth(referred to as"CB")and cited depth(referred to as"CD");The relationship between the academic influence and scholars provides reference and basis for the research in this field.First,we select the top 10 scholars in information science,library science and interdisciplinary fields who are both highly cited and highly published,and obtain all the data of 20 scholars in the WoS core database.Secondly,the data results of 20 scholars were calculated according to CB and CD calculation formulas.Finally,the characteristics of CB and CD are analyzed from the perspectives of the relationship between CB and CD,the relationship of citation influence,the relationship of social influence,and the relationship of cooperation influence.The study found that Whether in a single discipline or across disciplines,CB and CD are correlated,but the correlation coefficient is low.The correlation between CB and the author's academic influence is low,but CB can represent the author's influence in multiple ways.CD can represent the author's citation distribution,and has a high correlation with the author's citation influence,social influence and cooperative influence.It can also show the influence of the author's research work and other research results of different categories in different dimensions,and also reveal the public participation caused by academic writing.In summary,CB and CD have a certain relationship with academic influence,but they can not represent the author's academic influence,and can only serve as a reference basis.
