用于评估共同作者的学术贡献的第一和其他合作者信用分配模式

Abstract

共同作者学术贡献分配模式提供了固定或灵活的信用分配公式，并广泛应用于评估科学出版物共同作者的贡献。本文提出了一种新颖的“第一和其他（First and Others, F＆O）合作者”分配模式。通过引入调整参数α和权重β，使得信用分配具备以下新的属性：（1）通过修改公式（调整参数α）或强调单个作者贡献（调整权重β）体现学术贡献分配的灵活性和适用性；（2）将第一作者的贡献与其他作者分开计算，第二作者的贡献会根据α参数的变化，呈现出拐点。文中提出相应定理和证明，揭示了“第一和其他（F＆O）合作者”分配模式新的特性，应是对文献计量学基本理论的贡献。F＆O模式亦可应用于“强调第一作者学术贡献”的策略。通过对一组来自化学、医学、心理学和哈佛-芝加哥调查数据的应用，F＆O模式与其他方法进行了分析比较，若干测定系数的优化显示出本文方法的先进性。
