Research on the Influence of Mathematical E-books basedon Bookmetrix

Abstract

Abstract: In order to more objectively evaluate the academic value of e-books and their usage rules,
providing the reference for e-book purchase decision, grouping comparison, descriptive statistical analysis,
scatter plot and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze 14 742 mathematical e-books from
Springer platform with Bookmetrix indicators. The research showed that the downloads and citations
indicators are relatively highly used, whereas other social media influence indicators are relatively less
studied; that dducational textbooks have a big number of downloads, and academic monographs are
cited more; that the number of Mendeley readers could reflect the academic influence of a book to a
certain extent; and that new books have a relatively high downloadamount, whereas old books citation
counts.

Key words: Influence, E-books, Mathematical subject, Bookmetrix
