Purpose Altmetric indicators have been proposed as a complement to citation counts in research evaluation. Conceivably, they might also be used to supplement other methods for estimating journal readership. The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of Mendeley reference management software to characterize the features of the readership of library and information science (LIS) literature. Design/methodology/approach The authors used the Social Sciences Citation Index to retrieve 54,655 articles and reviews published between 1995 and 2014 and indexed in the category “Information Science & Library Science”. Each record was then searched in Mendeley to obtain the number of bookmarks of the paper and the academic status of the users. Findings Mendeley covers 61 per cent of the LIS literature published in the last 20 years. In all, 75 per cent of the papers published in the last five years had been bookmarked at least once in Mendeley whereas just 55 per cent had been cited in Web of Science. Reviews are bookmarked more frequently than articles, and papers in English have more bookmarks than papers in any other language. Most users of LIS literature are PhD and postgraduate students. Originality/value The study shows that altmetrics can be used as a source of data in information behaviour studies. Reference management software provides an unobtrusive means of capturing reading habits in the scholarly literature. Compared to citation counts, bookmarks are rapidly available and also reflect usage outside the academic community.

在门德利的显微镜下二十年的图书馆学和情报学文献读者群

目的已经提出了高度测量指标,作为研究评估中引用计数的补充。可以想象,它们也可以用于补充其他估计期刊读者人数的方法。本文的目的是探索使用Mendeley参考管理软件来表征图书馆和情报学(LIS)文献读者的特征。设计/方法/方法作者使用社会科学引文索引检索了1995年至2014年之间发表的54,655篇文章和评论,并将其编入“信息科学与图书馆科学”类别。然后在Mendeley中搜索每条记录,以获取论文的书签数量和用户的学术状况。结果Mendeley涵盖了过去20年出版的LIS文献的61%。在所有,在过去五年中,有75%的论文在Mendeley至少被加了一次书签,而Web of Science仅引用了55%。评论比文章更容易被加上书签,英语论文比其他任何语言的论文都具有更多的书签。LIS文学的大多数用户是博士学位和研究生。原创性/价值研究表明,高度度量可以用作信息行为研究中的数据来源。参考管理软件提供了一种捕捉学术文献中阅读习惯的简便方法。与引用计数相比,书签迅速可用,并且还反映了学术界外部的使用情况。评论比文章更容易被加上书签,英语论文比其他任何语言的论文都具有更多的书签。LIS文学的大多数用户是博士学位和研究生。原创性/价值研究表明,高度度量可以用作信息行为研究中的数据来源。参考管理软件提供了一种捕捉学术文献中阅读习惯的简便方法。与引用计数相比,书签迅速可用,并且还反映了学术界外部的使用情况。评论比文章更容易被加书签,英语论文比其他任何语言的论文都具有更多的书签。LIS文学的大多数用户是博士学位和研究生。原创性/价值研究表明,高度度量可以用作信息行为研究中的数据来源。参考管理软件提供了一种捕捉学术文献中阅读习惯的简便方法。与引用计数相比,书签可以快速获得,并且可以反映学术界外部的使用情况。参考管理软件提供了一种捕捉学术文献中阅读习惯的简便方法。与引用计数相比,书签可以快速获得,并且可以反映学术界外部的使用情况。参考管理软件提供了一种捕捉学术文献中阅读习惯的简便方法。与引用计数相比,书签可以快速获得,并且可以反映学术界外部的使用情况。
