Abstract
Evaluation of papers’ academic influence is a hot issue in the field of scientific research management. Academic big data provides a data treasure with the coexistence of different types of academic entities, which can be used to evaluate academic influence from a more macro and comprehensive perspective. Based on academic big data, a heterogeneous academic network composed of links within and between three types of academic entities (authors, papers and venues) is constructed. In addition, a new academic influence ranking algorithm, AIRank, is proposed to evaluate papers’ academic influence. Different from the existing academic influence ranking algorithms, AIRank has made innovations in the following two aspects. (1) AIRank distinguishes the influence transmission intensity between different node pairs. Different from the strategy of evenly distributing influence among different node pairs, AIRank quantifies the intensity of influence transmission between node pairs based on investigating the citation emotional attribute, semantic similarity and academic quality differences between node pairs. Based on the intensity characteristics, AIRank realises the distribution and transmission of influence among different node pairs. (2) AIRank incorporates the influence transmission from heterogeneous neighbours in evaluating papers’ influence. According to the academic influence of author nodes and venue nodes, AIRank fine-tunes the iteration formula of paper influence to obtain the ranking of papers under the joint influence of homogeneous and heterogeneous neighbours. Experimental results show that, compared with the ranking results based on citation frequency and PageRank algorithm, AIRank algorithm can produce more differentiated and reasonable academic influence ranking results.
