To purify the academic atmosphere, cultivate the academic ecology, and promote academic innovation, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Strengthening Legal Education and Legal Theoretical Research in the New Era. It put forward precise requirements and made specific deployments to improve the scientific research assessment and evaluation system, which pointed out the direction for reforming the academic evaluation system in legal studies. It is necessary to grasp the historical trend, take the initiative to seek changes, shoulder our responsibility, address pain points and difficulties in the academic research evaluation system in an innovative way, and build an academic evaluation system and academic evaluation institutions in line with the characteristics of the discipline of law and the needs of the times, thereby promoting the prosperous development of legal studies.展开更多

First, in this paper, two composite evaluation indexes are proposed, i.e., the HR index and the CHR index,where the HR index is based on the evaluation of prestige and quality, and the CHR index is based on the evaluation of prestige, quality and quantity. Second, two methods are proposed for testing the HR and CHR indexes. One is to test the principles, i.e., the self-interpretation degree of the results to the principle, by means of partial least squares regression. The other is the analysis of the evaluation results, including the relationships between the composite index and other bibliometric indicators, such as the order of magnitude and distinction and the data distribution of evaluation value, etc. Empirical studies are also conducted. The CSSCI periodicals of the CNKI Library Information and Document Science are employed to test the proposed HR and CHR indexes. Empirical analyses find that the HR index and the CHR index are good evaluation indicators that have broad application and can be used in many aspects, such as scholar, institutional and subject evaluations.展开更多

The magnitude of data usage for academic literature, given by the Web of Science(Wo S), can be expected to provide a supplementary perspective for citation analysis in three theoretical aspects, which are influence dimension, discipline difference and behavioral motive. Based on 166,767 articles in physics, computer science, economics, and Library and Information Science included by SCI and SSCI in 2013 as research samples, this paper conducts an exploratory investigation into the measurement features of the usage data. According to the results, compared with citation data, usage is more discriminative and sensitive. In terms of distribution, usage presents an approximate and positively skewed distribution at high-frequency. An approximate power-law distribution is observed in the cumulative integral. The evaluation result of usage is independent to a certain degree and poses no essential opposition to the result of citation. Although the usage of the Wo S platform still has the limitations of generality, falsifiability and isolation, usage may be accepted as one of the possible options that supplement citation data and provide a richer field of vision for influence evaluation. There are 4 figures, 6 tables and 23 references in this paper.展开更多
