论文摘要
RPY是最初引入的文献计量方法,以揭示研究主题或领域的历史根源。 RPYS并未确定所研究的出版物集的最高度引用的论文(通常是通过研究评估中的书目分析进行的),而是指出最常引用的出版物 - 每个出版物都在特定的参考出版年内。在这项研究中,我们建议在突破研究的背景下使用该方法来识别重要的研究人员,机构和国家。为了证明我们的方法,我们将重点放在地球气候的物理建模和全球变暖的预测上。克劳斯·哈塞尔曼(Klaus Hasselmann)和苏库罗·马纳(Syukuro Manabe)因其对这项研究的基本贡献而在2021年获得诺贝尔奖。我们的结果表明,RPY能够确定最重要的研究人员,机构和国家。例如,所有相关作者的机构都位于美国。这些机构要么是美国两个国家研究管理局(NASA和NOAA)或大学的研究中心:亚利桑那大学,普林斯顿大学,马萨诸塞州理工学院(MIT)和Stony Brook大学。
RPYS is a bibliometric method originally introduced in order to reveal the historical roots of research topics or fields. RPYS does not identify the most highly cited papers of the publication set being studied (as is usually done by bibliometric analyses in research evaluation), but instead it indicates most frequently referenced publications - each within a specific reference publication year. In this study, we propose to use the method to identify important researchers, institutions and countries in the context of breakthrough research. To demonstrate our approach, we focus on research on physical modeling of Earth's climate and the prediction of global warming as an example. Klaus Hasselmann and Syukuro Manabe were both honored with the Nobel Prize in 2021 for their fundamental contributions to this research. Our results reveal that RPYS is able to identify most important researchers, institutions, and countries. For example, all the relevant authors' institutions are located in the USA. These institutions are either research centers of two US National Research Administrations (NASA and NOAA) or universities: the University of Arizona, Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of Stony Brook.
