摘要: 研究热点是学术研究中前沿问题、关键问题、重要问题等的重要体现,评价学术期刊研
究热点具有重要意义。本文提出了一个新的文献计量指标——热点指数,它是学术期刊过去两年
发表的论文在统计当年被引次数最高的5篇论文的总被引次数之和,除以期刊过去两年的载文量的
自然对数。以图书馆情报与文献学CSSCI期刊为例,基于CNKI的引文数据进行实证,研究发现:热
点指数是一个重要的期刊来源指标;影响因子、h指数与热点指数相关度较高;对于相对较小的研
究领域建议采用3篇论文热点指数;对于较大的研究领域可以增加高被引论文计算热点指数。热点
指数可在进一步研究的基础上加以推广。

Abstract: Research hotspot is an important embodiment of the frontier and key issues in academic
research. It is of great significance to evaluate the research hotspot of academic journals. This paper proposes
a new bibliometric index, the “hot index”, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the total citation
number of the five most cited papers in the past two years by the natural logarithm of the article quantity
of the journals in the past two years. The paper takes the library information science journals of Chinese
Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) as an example and conducts an empirical study based on the CNKI
citation data. The study found that the hot index can be an important journal source index, featuring a high
correlation with influence factor and h index. For the smaller research areas, it is recommended to use three
highly cited paper to calculate the hot index, and for the large research areas, it can increase the number
of highly cited paper to calculate the hot index. The hot index can be promoted on the basis of further
research.

Key words: Hot index, Academic journal, Impact factor, Article quantity
