高影响力学者学术社交网络平台使用行为研究——以ResearchGate为例

Abstract

Abstract:

Academic social networks are profoundly influencing and changing the way researchers connect, share information and collaborate during innovation. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics usage behaviors of ESI highly cited scholars on ResearchGate. The results show that 38.66% of ESI scholar has registered with ResearchGate while and scholars from social science scholars have the biggest registering rate. ESI scholars tend to sharing public information such as projects and research materials instead of unpublished information. Meanwhile, ESI scholars tend to displaying personal information and obtaining academic information but make relatively little use of Q&A services. The spearman correlation tests show that information sharing behaviors have a strong correlation with scholars’ influence while social interaction behaviors do not.

Key words: minority area, county library, training of library staff, personnel training, researchers, academic social network, researchGate, information Behavior
