چکیده

هدف: هدف از پژوهش حاضر بررسی انواع همکاری‌های غیر رسمی در بخش سپاسگزاری مقالات حوزه شیمی است.
روش پژوهش: این پژوهش، یک مطالعه کمی با رویکرد علم‌سنجی و مبتنی بر فنون داده‌کاوی روش کتابخانه‌ای و توصیفی انجام گرفته است. جامعه آماری پژوهش را مقاله های پژوهشی با دسترسی باز پایگاه وب آوساینس تشکیل می دهد. برای داده‌کاوی و استخراج بخش سپاسگزاری مقالات، از نرم‌افزار شناساگر موجودیت‌های اسمی استنفورد استفاده شد.
یافته ها: یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد سپاسگزاری مقالات حوزه شیمی با توجه به مدل سه سطحی ساختار متون سپاسگزاری هایلند به ترتیب به عمل تشکر، عمل بازتاب و عمل آگاهی بخشیدن اختصاص دارد.همچنین آکادمی علوم چین، دانشگاه برکلی کالیفرنیا و انستیتوی تکنولوژی ماساچوست (ام‌آی‌تی) سازمان‌ها و دانشگاه‌هایی هستند که بیشترین سپاسگزاری از آن‌ها صورت گرفته بود. میزان استناد در میان مقالاتی که تعداد افراد سپاسگزاری شده در آن ها بیش از دو نفر(متوسط تعداد افراد سپاسگزاری شده) است بیشتر از تعداد استناد به مقالات دیگر است. بعلاوه بین تعداد افراد سپاسگزاری شده در مقاله با میزان استناد به مقاله ارتباط معناداری وجود دارد.
نتیجه گیری: با توجه به اینکه سپاسگزاری می تواند بر دریافت استناد موثر باشد، می توان با آگاهی رسانی به افراد و مجاب کردن آن ها به اهمیت استناد در شکل گیری هویت و برند شخصی و حقوقی با نهادینه سازی حس وفاداری و تشکر در افراد موثر بود. بعلاوه شاید یکی از دلایل شدت کم ارتباط بین میزان استناد و سپاسگزاری عدم وجود یکدستی در نام افراد و سازمان ها و نیز محل ارائه سپاسگزاری در اکثر مقالات که در بخش انتهایی مقاله است، دانست.

چکیده [English]

Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate the types of informal collaborations within the acknowledgments section of articles in the field of chemistry.
Method: This research is a quantitative study employing a scientometric approach and based on data mining techniques, utilizing library research and descriptive methods. The statistical population of the study consists of open-access research articles from the Web of Science database. The Stanford Named Entity Recognizer software was used for data mining and extraction of the acknowledgments section of the articles.
Results: The research findings indicated that acknowledgments in chemistry articles, based on Hyland's three-level model of acknowledgment text structure, are dedicated to acts of thanking, acts of reflection, and acts of informing, respectively. Furthermore, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) were the organizations and universities that received the most acknowledgments. The citation rate is higher in articles that acknowledge more than two individuals (the average number of acknowledged individuals) compared to other articles. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the number of individuals acknowledged in an article and the number of citations the article received.
Conclusions: Considering that acknowledgments can impact citation rates, raising awareness among individuals and persuading them of the importance of citation in shaping personal and institutional identity and branding can be effective by institutionalizing a sense of loyalty and gratitude. Moreover, perhaps one reason for the weak correlation between citation rates and acknowledgments is the lack of consistency in the names of individuals and organizations, as well as the location of acknowledgments in most articles, which is at the end of the article.
