The big challenge of Scientometrics 2.0: exploring the broader impact of scientific research in public health

In the present study we discuss the challenge of “Scientometrics 2.0” as introduced by Priem and Hemminger (2010) in the light of possible applications to research evaluation. We use the Web of Science subject category public, environmental and occupational health to illustrate how indicators similar to those used in traditional scientometrics can be built, and we also discuss their opportunities and limitations. The discipline under study combines life sciences and social sciences in a unique manner and provides usable metrics reflecting both scholarly and wider impact. Nonetheless, metrics reflecting social media attention like tweets, retweets and Facebook likes, shares or comments are still subject to limitations in this research discipline as well. Furthermore, Usage metrics clearly point to the manipulation proneness of this measure. Although the counterparts of important bibliometric indicators proved to work for several altmetrics too, their interpretation and application to research assessment requires proper context analysis.

科学计量学 2.0 的重大挑战:探索科学研究对公共卫生的更广泛影响

在本研究中,我们讨论了 Priem 和 Hemminger (2010) 介绍的“科学计量学 2.0”的挑战,因为它可能应用于研究评估。我们使用 Web of Science 学科类别公共、环境和职业健康来说明如何建立与传统科学计量学中使用的指标类似的指标,并讨论它们的机会和局限性。所研究的学科以独特的方式结合了生命科学和社会科学,并提供了反映学术影响和更广泛影响的可用指标。尽管如此,反映社交媒体关注度的指标,如推文、转发和 Facebook 点赞、分享或评论,仍然受到该研究学科的限制。此外,使用指标清楚地指出了该措施的操纵倾向。
