Analysis of the development of open access papers in China and the United States in the last decade:A comparison based on the InCites database
[Purposes]This paper aims to determine the differences between China and the United States in terms of the number and influence of open access(OA)papers from 2013 to 2022 and put forward the suggestions for the development of Chinese OA papers at this stage,so as to promote the development of open science.[Methods]Using the InCites database,the paper analyzed relevant indicators of OA papers in China and the United States from 2013 to 2022.It counted the number of OA papers published by researchers in both countries,their types,disciplinary distribution,and citation-related indicators of paper influence.Comparative analysis was conducted using bibliometric methods.[Findings]The number and proportion of Chinese OA papers are comparable to those in the United States,but the distribution of types is less balanced.In terms of disciplinary distribution,the number of OA papers in the fields of medicine and life sciences far exceeds other disciplines.In terms of influence,China lags behind the United States,both in the number of highly cited papers and CNCI index.[Conclusions]The development of OA papers in China is imbalanced in terms of types and disciplines.In the future,it is necessary to build an OA platform,strictly control the quality of OA papers,and improve the relevant system.
