论文摘要
在这项研究中，我分析了DBLP书目数据库，以研究1940年至2019年之间单个作者出版物在计算机科学文献中的作用。我通过计算人口分数，引用统计数据和Pagerank评分来研究人口统计学和接收。自1940年代以来，人口分数和接收的不断下降。单一作者出版物的总体衰减趋势在质上与其他科学学科中观察到的趋势是一致的，尽管这种趋势的减少比自然科学中的几十年晚了几十年。此外，我使用页面长度和参考数字作为出版物范围的一阶近似值来分析单个作者出版物的范围和数量。尽管这两个指标平均都显示出与引文数量的正相关，但与其他出版物相比，单作者的页面或参考计数没有显着差异，这表明存在其他影响单个作者出版物的引用的其他因素。
In this study, I analyze the DBLP bibliographic database to study role of single author publications in the computer science literature between 1940 and 2019. I examine the demographics and reception by computing the population fraction, citation statistics, and PageRank scores of single author publications over the years. Both the population fraction and reception have been continuously declining since the 1940s. The overall decaying trend of single author publications is qualitatively consistent with those observed in other scientific disciplines, though the diminution is taking place several decades later than those in the natural sciences. Additionally, I analyze the scope and volume of single author publications, using page length and reference count as first-order approximations of the scope of publications. Although both metrics on average show positive correlations with citation count, single author papers show no significant difference in page or reference counts compared to the rest of the publications, suggesting that there exist other factors that impact the citations of single author publications.
