Abstract:
Based on the database of CNKI (China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database), the citation and download of papers published in Journal of Shaanxi Normal University (Natural Science Edition) from 2003 to 2012 were analyzed. According to the percentage and limited number method, 69 highly cited papers and 68 highly downloaded papers were selected.Then the distribution of frequency, subject, publication year, author, foundation, cited literature type, and the relation between high citation and high download were analyzed. The following results were obtained. 950 papers were cited, which occupied about 73.13% of 1 299 papers published in the journal from 2003 to 2012, and the total citation frequency was 5 614 with 4.32 per paper. The 69 highly cited papers occupied 5.31% of the total papers were cited 1 872 times,which occupied 33.35% of the total citation frequency. The 68 highly downloaded papers occupied 5.23% of the total papers were downloaded 39 021 times,which occupied 20.77% of 187 857 total downloaded frequency. Almostly, the highly cited and highly downloaded papers published were those before 5 years ago. For the highly cited papers, the sequence involved subjects was Resource and Environment Science, Mathematics and Computer Science, Physics, Life Science, Chemistry and Materials Science, Food Engineering and Nutrition Science, Sports Science. For the highly downloaded papers, the sequence involved subjects was also Resource and Environment Science, Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science, Life Science, Mathematics and Computer Science, Food Engineering and Nutrition Science, and Sports Science. The top 15 authors with outstanding contributions are the core authors of the journal. The 27 papers with highly cited and highly downloaded frequencies mutually overlay with 39.13% overlap percentage. The study can provide the direction for the selection plan and solicit contributions of the journal.
