论文摘要
随着COVID-19大流行的全球传播，来自各个学科的科学家对这种历史公共卫生紧急情况做出了迅速反应。在短时间内，Covid-19相关论文的突然繁荣可能会给一些常用的文献计量指标带来意想不到的影响。通过使用科学引文指数扩展和社会科学引文指数的大规模研究，这种简短的交流通过基本科学指标的高度引用的论文的镜头从经验上证实了Covid-19相关论文的引用优势。在2020年和2021年发表的Covid-19相关论文中，超过8％被选为基本科学指标，高度引用的论文高于设定的全球基准值1％。还证明了Covid-19相关论文对不同科学类别/国家/期刊影响因素四分位数的引用优势。在此简短交流结束时，讨论了COVID-19相关论文对某些文献计量指标（例如期刊影响因素）的引用优势的扭曲。
With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists from various disciplines responded quickly to this historical public health emergency. The sudden boom of COVID-19 related papers in a short period of time may bring unexpected influence to some commonly used bibliometric indicators. By a large-scale investigation using Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, this brief communication confirms the citation advantage of COVID-19 related papers empirically through the lens of Essential Science Indicators' highly cited paper. More than 8% of COVID-19 related papers published during 2020 and 2021 were selected as Essential Science Indicators highly cited papers, which was much higher than the set global benchmark value of 1%. The citation advantage of COVID-19 related papers for different Web of Science categories/countries/journal impact factor quartiles were also demonstrated. The distortions of COVID-19 related papers' citation advantage to some bibliometric indicators such as journal impact factor were discussed at the end of this brief communication.
