Purpose

Teachers, students, librarians, scholars and domain experts often spend a lot of time and effort to select good and suitable textbooks. This study aims to propose and construct a computer-aided bibliometric system to rate textbooks. Through the software system designed here, the quality of every textbook can be easily and quickly known. This system will benefit both scholars and librarians.

Design/methodology/approach

Four methods were used to evaluate textbooks in this study, including: questionnaire recommendation analysis, dissertation citation analysis, library circulation analysis and bibliography analysis. The system architecture includes three subsystems: the textbook indexing and searching subsystem, the statistics added-value analysis subsystem and the citation report inquiry subsystem. An example demonstrates the usability and validity of the proposed method and system. The example uses surveying textbooks. The following percentages were used in the correlation calculation: textbook citation percentage (TCP), textbook library circulation percentage (TLP) and textbook recommend percentage (TRP).

Findings

There are three textbook assessment methods applied in this study, including: dissertation citation, library circulation and questionnaire recommendation. Dissertation citations for textbooks have a high correlation value with library circulation. The frequency correlation calculation was 0.7, while the TCP, TLP and TRP correlation calculation was 0.84. Therefore, the dissertation citation method can be accepted to evaluate textbooks effectively.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work related to evaluating surveying textbooks using a computer-aided bibliometrics system that can deal with large amounts of data and generate results quickly. This can be applied to other fields as well.

教科书排名和评估方法与系统：使用调查教科书的案例研究

目的

教师，学生，图书馆员，学者和领域专家通常会花费大量时间和精力来选择优质而合适的教科书。本研究旨在提出并构建一个计算机辅助的文献计量系统，以对教科书进行评分。通过此处设计的软件系统，可以轻松快速地了解每本教科书的质量。该系统将使学者和图书馆员受益。

设计/方法/方法

本研究采用四种方法对教科书进行评估，包括：问卷推荐分析，论文引文分析，图书馆流通分析和书目分析。系统架构包括三个子系统：教科书索引和搜索子系统，统计增值分析子系统和引文报告查询子系统。一个例子说明了所提出的方法和系统的可用性和有效性。该示例使用调查教科书。在相关计算中使用了以下百分比：教科书引用百分比（TCP），教科书库流通百分比（TLP）和教科书推荐百分比（TRP）。

发现

本研究采用三种教科书评估方法，包括：论文引文，图书馆发行量和问卷建议。教科书的论文引文与图书馆发行量具有很高的相关性。频率相关计算为0.7，而TCP，TLP和TRP相关计算为0.84。因此，可以采用学位论文引文方法对教材进行有效评价。

创意/价值

就作者所知，这是与使用计算机辅助文献计量系统评估测绘教科书有关的第一项工作，该系统可以处理大量数据并快速产生结果。这也可以应用于其他领域。
