论文摘要
人们担心研究的“共同化”将过分强调19和大流行，而其他研究则以牺牲其他研究为代价。与Covid-19的大流行有关的出版物的快速增长使本文引用了大量的引用。这种增长可能会影响文献计量指标。在本文中，我探讨了COVID-19的增长如何影响大学排名，研究评估和研究分配中常用的书目计量指标，即现场标准化引用评分和期刊影响因素。我发现，在199年大流行的早期阶段，出版物的爆发会影响野外的引文评分，并将影响期刊的影响因素。与COVID-19无关的出版物也受到很大的影响。我得出的结论是，从跨越共同19的大流行的引文指标中得出误导性结论的风险很大，尤其是当使用时间序列以及评估生物医学文献时。
A concern has been raised that "covidization" of research would cause an overemphasizes on covid-19 and pandemics at the expense of other research. The rapid growth of publications related to the Covid-19 pandemic renders a vast amount of citations from this literature. This growth may affect bibliometric indicators. In this paper I explored how the growth of covid-19 publications influences bibliometric indicators commonly used in university rankings, research evaluation and research allocation, namely the field normalized citation score and the journal impact factor. I found that the burst of publications in the early stage of the covid-19 pandemic affects field-normalized citation scores and will affect the journal impact factor. Publications unrelated to covid-19 are also heavily affected. I conclude that there is a considerable risk to draw misleading conclusions from citation indicators spanning over the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, in particular when time series are used and when the biomedical literature is assessed.
