In this study, the academic status of users of scientific publications in Mendeley is explored in order to analyse the usage pattern of Mendeley users in terms of subject fields, citation and readership impact. The main focus of this study is on studying the filtering capacity of Mendeley readership counts compared to journal citation scores in detecting highly cited WoS publications. Main finding suggests a faster reception of Mendeley readerships as compared to citations across 5 major field of science. The higher correlations of scientific users with citations indicate the similarity between reading and citation behaviour among these users. It is confirmed that Mendeley readership counts filter highly cited publications (PPtop 10%) better than journal citation scores in all subject fields and by most of user types. This result reinforces the potential role that Mendeley readerships could play for informing scientific and alternative impacts.
翻译：在这项研究中,探讨了门德利科学出版物用户的学术状况,以便分析门德利用户在主题领域、引文和读者影响方面的使用模式,这项研究的主要重点是研究门德利读者的过滤能力,与在发现大量引文的WOS出版物时的期刊引用分数相比,门德利读者的接收速度快于五个主要科学领域的引用。科学用户与引文的关联性较高,表明这些用户的阅读和引文行为相似。经证实,门德利读者在所有主题领域和大多数用户类型中筛选的高引用出版物(PPP最高10%)比期刊引用分数要好。这一结果加强了门德利读者在通报科学和替代影响方面可能发挥的作用。
