Abstract

The nonmentioned phenomenon is when citations or references are missing from the body of the paper, and the phenomenon may be abnormal citing behavior that results from the negligence of the author or editor. Therefore, this study selected 40 journals in five different disciplines and carried out a comparative study. The research methods employed in this study were multivariate statistical analysis and similarity calculations. The results show that 3.45% of papers included the nonmentioned phenomenon and that the similarity between nonmentioned references and the cited paper are so low as to disqualify part of the nonmentioned references. Further, since the nonmentioned phenomenon did not appear in 96.55% of papers, it can be concluded that although most of the papers are consistent with citation normativeness, the nonmentioned phenomenon does exist in scientific papers. This study provides evidence to suggest that the nonmentioned phenomenon should receive more attention in the academic world.

摘要

未提及的现象是当论文正文中缺少引文或参考文献时，该现象可能是由于作者或编辑者的疏忽导致的异常引用行为。因此，本研究选择了五个不同学科的40种期刊并进行了比较研究。本研究采用的研究方法是多元统计分析和相似度计算。结果表明，有3.45％的论文包含未提及的现象，并且未提及的参考文献与被引论文之间的相似度很低，从而使部分未提及的参考文献失去资格。此外，由于96.55％的论文中未出现未提及的现象，因此可以得出结论，尽管大多数论文都符合引用规范性，科学论文中确实存在这种未提及的现象。这项研究提供了证据表明未提及的现象在学术界应引起更多关注。
