In this paper, we take Nature as a case study to present a new method for calculating and analyzing the structure of the Impact Factor (IF) using the Web of Science (WoS) database and the definition of IF. We calculated Nature’s IF for 2013 using data retrieved on 21 March 2014 from the WoS database and comprehensively analyzed its structural features, thereby identifying the contributions to Nature’s IF for 2013 of different document types, highly cited papers, highly cited authors, different institutions, and different countries and regions. The results show: (a) the calculated value of Nature’s IF for 2013 is 41.002 according to data retrieved in March of 2014; (b) two types of document, article and review, made prominent contributions to Nature’s IF for 2013, with contribution values of 35.338 and 3.179, respectively; (c) the institutions that made the greatest contributions to Nature’s IF for 2013 are mainly located in the USA and England, with the first three highly cited institutions being Harvard University, Stanford University, and Washington University; (d) the contributions of different countries and regions to Nature’s IF for 2013 differ greatly, with the combined contribution rate of the USA and England being 70.4 percent.

基于Web of Science的期刊影响因子计算与结构分析方法:以Nature为例

在本文中,我们以 Nature 为案例研究,提出了一种使用 Web of Science (WoS) 数据库和 IF 定义计算和分析影响因子 (IF) 结构的新方法。我们使用 2014 年 3 月 21 日从 WoS 数据库中检索到的数据计算了 Nature's IF 2013,并综合分析了其结构特征,从而确定了不同文献类型、高被引论文、高被引作者、不同机构以及不同机构对 2013 年 Nature's IF 的贡献。不同的国家和地区。结果表明:(a)根据2014年3月检索​​到的数据,计算出的2013年Nature's IF值为41.002;(b) 对 Nature's IF 2013 年贡献突出的文章和评论两类文献,贡献值分别为 35.338 和 3.179;(c) 2013年对Nature's IF贡献最大的机构主要位于美国和英国,前三个高被引机构为哈佛大学、斯坦福大学和华盛顿大学;(d) 不同国家和地区对Nature's IF 2013年的贡献差异很大,美国和英国的综合贡献率为70.4%。
