摘要
马太效应意指成功导致成功,形成累积优势,是社会上一种不可避免而又利弊俱现的偏态心理反应。期刊工作作为一项社会活动,受到马太效应的支配和控制,主要表现为:(1)高产作者群的出现——论文集中趋势;(2)核心刊物的形成——文献集中趋势;(3)作者分布不均衡——作者集中趋势;(4)论文老化加快——时间集中趋势。由于马太效应在期刊中产生的集中趋势,使信息集中,重点突出,信息资源浪费减少,形成刊物间的竞争机制,有利于读者及早准确获得所需信息。但要抑制不需要或过度的优势积累,给予年轻科研工作者有创新观点或与传统观点相左的论文以足够重视,克服名人效应的消极影响,同时应注意作者分布不均衡造成的优秀论文外流及对国内科研工作的影响。
Matthew's effect means that success leads to success and forms cumulative dominance. Socially, it is a skew psychological reaction, which is inevitable and shows both advantages and disadvantages. Matthew's effect on journal is shown by the presence of productive author groups, which reflects the tendency of article concentration, the forming of core journals, which reflects the tendency of literature concentration, the uneven distribution of authors, which reflects the tendency of author concentration, and the acceleration of journal aging, which reflects the tendency of time concentration. The concentration tendencies by Matthew's effect make information pooled, key points stood out, and waste of information resources overcome, thus cause the competition in journals, and benefit readers as they can get the information early to adjust their researches. But excessive dominance cumulation should be checked and the negative influence of celebrity effect restrained. At the same time, articles by young researchers, with new ideas or ideas conflicting with traditional viewpoints should be valued, and attention should be paid to the effect of excellent articles outflow on our scientific researches as well.
