Purpose

To improve the deficiencies of the existing journal influencing evaluation indexes, which have single influencing factors and are greatly affected by the number of papers published, this paper proposes a new evaluation of the journal influence method based on the RA index.

Design/methodology/approach

In the metrics create, the paper introduces the RA index for evaluating the impact of authors and analyzing its feasibility in journal evaluation. Then the RA index is divided by the number of journal's published papers to obtain the RAQ index to evaluate journal impact. In the metrics analysis, the authors analyze the statistical characteristics of the RAQ index using statistical analysis, and t-test, Roc curve and PLS were used to analyze the relationship between the RAQ index and other indicators.

Findings

Empirical results show that the RAQ index can effectively identify high-quality journals and reduce the number of published papers on journal evaluation. The empirical results show that the RAQ index has higher stability and discrimination than the h-index and g-index. Compared with other indexes, the RAQ index has better evaluation effects and statistical characteristics.

Originality/value

The current study proposes journals' RAQ index, which integrates the influence of high-, low- and zero-cited papers. It solves the problem of the virtual high of the h-type index. The findings will contribute to the evaluation of journal influence by offering a new research idea that facilitates the fairness and rationality of journal evaluation.

评价期刊学术影响力的新指标：RAQ指数

目的

针对现有期刊影响力评价指标影响因素单一、受论文发表量影响较大的不足，提出一种基于RA指标的期刊影响力评价新方法。

设计/方法/方法

在metrics create中，论文引入了RA指标，用于评估作者的影响力，并分析其在期刊评估中的可行性。然后将 RA 指数除以期刊发表论文的数量得到 RAQ 指数来评估期刊影响力。在指标分析中，作者采用统计分析法分析了RAQ指数的统计特征，并采用t检验、Roc曲线和PLS分析了RAQ指数与其他指标的关系。

发现

实证结果表明，RAQ指数可以有效识别优质期刊，减少期刊评价发表论文数量。实证结果表明，RAQ指数比h-index和g-index具有更高的稳定性和辨别力。与其他指标相比，RAQ指标具有更好的评价效果和统计特征。

原创性/价值

本研究提出了期刊的 RAQ 指数，该指数综合了高被引、低被引和零被引论文的影响。解决了h型指数虚高的问题。研究结果将为期刊影响力评估提供新的研究思路，促进期刊评估的公平性和合理性。
