论文摘要
我们基于过去十年的ARXIV数据库(2010年至2020年$),在天文论文和13个学科之间进行了引文模式分析。我们分析了12,600篇天文论文,援引天文学之外的14,531多个独特出版物。两个惊人的模式被解开。首先,一般的相对论最近成为天文学家所引用最多的领域,这一趋势与重力波的发现高度相关。其次,自2015年以来,参考论文在计算机科学和统计学中的快速增长,首次提高了15倍。这种发现证实了涉及天文学,统计和计算机科学的跨学科工作的关键作用。
We present a citation pattern analysis between astronomical papers and 13 other disciplines, based on the arXiv database over the past decade ($2010 - 2020$). We analyze 12,600 astronomical papers citing over 14,531 unique publications outside astronomy. Two striking patterns are unraveled. First, general relativity recently became the most cited field by astronomers, a trend highly correlated with the discovery of gravitational waves. Secondly, the fast growth of referenced papers in computer science and statistics, the first with a notable 15-fold increase since 2015. Such findings confirm the critical role of interdisciplinary efforts involving astronomy, statistics, and computer science in recent astronomical research.
