This study investigated the characteristics of articles by high research performance authors in the field of library and information science (LIS) by comparing the articles by two control groups of highly cited authors and prolific authors. The comparison was conducted on the basis of the articles indexed by Web of Science between 2009 and 2013 and their citation counts as of August 2019. Research results suggested that both high research performance authors and highly cited authors produced a significantly higher percentage of coauthored articles than prolific authors did. Moreover, they published a higher percentage of international collaborative articles in Q1 journals. Most high research performance researchers conducted scientometric research, whereas most highly cited researchers worked in the domain of management and computer science expertise and published their research results in journals relevant to their field. Additionally, prolific researchers mostly preferred to publish articles in LIS journals, whereas highly cited researchers tended to publish more articles in non-LIS journals. Prolific authors did not adopt coauthorship to improve productivity but targeted non-Q1 journals with higher rates of acceptance. Academic age was not a determining factor for distinguishing research performance among all three groups of researchers. Each group of researchers comprised both junior and senior researchers.

本研究通过比较两个引用率较高的作者和多产作者的对照组的研究成果，研究了图书馆和信息科学（LIS）领域中具有较高研究水平的作者的文章的特征。比较是根据2009年至2013年Web of Science收录的文章以及截至2019年8月的引用次数进行的。研究结果表明，具有较高研究成就的作者和被高引用的作者所撰写的合著文章比例明显高于多产的作者做到了。此外，他们在第一季度期刊上发表了更高比例的国际合作文章。大多数具有高研究水平的研究人员进行了科学计量研究，而大多数被高引用的研究人员则从事管理和计算机科学专业领域的研究，并将其研究结果发表在与其领域相关的期刊上。此外，多产的研究人员通常更喜欢在LIS期刊上发表文章，而被高引用的研究人员则倾向于在非LIS期刊上发表更多文章。多产的作者没有采用共同作者的方式来提高生产率，而是针对接受率更高的非Q1期刊。学术年龄并不是在所有三组研究人员之间区分研究绩效的决定因素。每一组研究人员均包括初级和高级研究人员。而被高引用的研究人员倾向于在非LIS期刊上发表更多文章。多产的作者没有采用共同作者的方式来提高生产率，而是针对接受率更高的非Q1期刊。学术年龄并不是在所有三组研究人员之间区分研究绩效的决定因素。每一组研究人员均包括初级和高级研究人员。而被高引用的研究人员倾向于在非LIS期刊上发表更多文章。多产的作者没有采用共同作者的方式来提高生产率，而是针对接受率更高的非Q1期刊。学术年龄并不是在所有三组研究人员之间区分研究绩效的决定因素。每一组研究人员均包括初级和高级研究人员。
