Merging the citation counts of arXiv-deposited e-prints (arXiv version) with those of their corresponding published journal articles (publisher version) is an important issue in citation analysis. Using examples of arXiv-deposited e-prints, this article adopts a manual approach to investigate the processing methods used by bibliographic repositories such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Astrophysics Data System (ADS), and INSPIRE for the citation merging. Both Google Scholar and ADS consolidate all citations from the two versions into the publisher one, whereas the consolidated citations are accumulated into the arXiv version in the INSPIRE repository. All these methods ignore the categories of the arXiv-deposited versions and the corresponding availability dates. As for Web of Science and Scopus, they count the citations of the two versions separately, which is likely regarding them as two independent articles. Focusing on journal articles that also appeared as arXiv e-prints, we classify them into two categories and identify two public availability dates of articles as the starting point of citation statistics. We present four feasible schemes to consolidate citation counts for the articles with both versions and also propose a universal scheme based on the research output. Furthermore, we investigated 2,662 e-prints in the “Computer Science - Digital Libraries” subject (cs.DL) from 1998 to 2018 in arXiv.org and manually calculated the consolidated citation counts of arXiv-deposited articles with the corresponding citation merging schemes. Furthermore, these citation consolidation methods are applied to the evaluation of articles, authors, and journals. Such empirical testing proves the feasibility of the schemes proposed in this article.

合并arXiv沉积的电子出版物及其相应已发表的期刊文章收到的引用:问题和观点

合并arXiv沉积的电子出版物(arXiv版本)的引用计数与它们相应的已发表期刊文章(出版商版本)的引用计数是在引用分析中的重要问题。本文使用arXiv沉积的电子打印示例,采用一种手动方法来研究书目存储库(例如Google Scholar,Web of Science,Scopus,天体物理学数据系统(ADS)和INSPIRE)用于引用合并的处理方法。Google Scholar和ADS都将来自这两个版本的所有引用合并到发布者一个中,而合并的引用被累积到INSPIRE存储库中的arXiv版本中。所有这些方法都忽略arXiv存放版本的类别和相应的可用日期。至于Web of Science和Scopus,他们分别计算了两个版本的引用,这很可能将它们视为两个独立的文章。重点关注也以arXiv电子版出现的期刊文章,我们将它们分为两类,并确定了文章的两个公开发布日期作为引文统计的起点。我们提出了四种可行的方案来合并两个版本的文章的引用次数,并根据研究成果提出一种通用方案。此外,我们调查了“ 我们提出了四个可行的方案来合并两个版本的文章的引用计数,并根据研究成果提出了一个通用方案。此外,我们在“ 我们提出了四种可行的方案来合并两个版本的文章的引用次数,并根据研究成果提出一种通用方案。此外,我们调查了“1998年至2018年在arXiv.org中选择“计算机科学-数字图书馆”主题(cs.DL),并使用相应的引用合并方案手动计算了arXiv存放的文章的合并引用计数。此外,这些引文合并方法适用于文章,作者和期刊的评估。这样的经验检验证明了本文提出的方案的可行性。
