论文摘要
引用通常用作科学出版物的影响的指标。在这里,我们研究了SCI-HUB的下载次数以及出版物的各种特征及其作者如何预测未来的引用。使用来自经济学,消费者研究,神经科学和多学科研究的12个领先期刊的数据,我们发现从SCI-HUB下载的文章比未从SCI-HUB下载的论文的文章高1.72倍,而从SCI-HUB下载的论文是SCI-Hub的下载次数是未来引用的强大预测者。在出版物的其他特征中,手稿中的数字数量始终预测其未来的引用。结果表明,有限的出版物访问可能会限制一些科学研究的全部影响。
Citations are often used as a metric of the impact of scientific publications. Here, we examine how the number of downloads from Sci-hub as well as various characteristics of publications and their authors predicts future citations. Using data from 12 leading journals in economics, consumer research, neuroscience, and multidisciplinary research, we found that articles downloaded from Sci-hub were cited 1.72 times more than papers not downloaded from Sci-hub and that the number of downloads from Sci-hub was a robust predictor of future citations. Among other characteristics of publications, the number of figures in a manuscript consistently predicts its future citations. The results suggest that limited access to publications may limit some scientific research from achieving its full impact.
