By individually associating articles to basic or applied research, it is shown that basic articles are cited more frequently than applied ones. Dividing the subject categories of the Web of Science into a basic and an applied part, the mean field-normalization rate is referred to the applied or basic part depending on the research orientation of the paper analysed. By this approach, a distinct difference of the citations for the applied and basic parts of most subject categories is found. However, differences of the citation scores of applied and basic research organisations are found as well, but are less clear. The explanation is that applied and basic research organisations generally publish a mix of basic and applied articles. In consequence, the standard normalization without distinction of basic and applied papers is generally sufficient for the bibliometric assessment of research organisations.

文献计量学对基础研究的隐性偏好

通过单独将文章与基础或应用研究联系起来，表明基础文章比应用文章被引用的频率更高。将 Web of Science 的学科类别分为基础部分和应用部分，平均领域归一化率根据所分析论文的研究方向被称为应用部分或基础部分。通过这种方法，可以发现大多数学科类别的应用部分和基础部分的引文存在明显差异。但是，也发现了应用研究机构和基础研究机构的引文得分存在差异，但不太清楚。解释是应用和基础研究组织通常混合发布基础和应用文章。结果，
