摘要

預印本(Preprint)或電子預印本(E-Print)係指期刊出版前公開的研究論文，是新興的學術傳播模式。為瞭解其被利用情形，本研究調查它們是否被引用。本研究檢索SciSearch資料庫之參考文獻欄位，結果發現自1974年至2003年至少有657,713篇以上的Preprint被引用。而E-Print方面，僅以物理arXiv.org網站之15個檔案為樣本，結果顯示，自1991年截至2003年7月，計有109,492篇E-Print被引用。自1991年以後，Preprint被引用數量逐年減少，而E-Print則逐年增加，以刊登後3年被引用達高峰，此與紙本期刊被引用之型態類似。

A preprint or an e-print is a research article made publicly available prior to formal publication in a peer-reviewed journal. It is a new form of scholarly communication. To understand how preprint and e-print are used, this paper examined their citation patterns. This research searched the cited ”work” field in the SciSearch database. The results showed that more than 657,713 preprints were cited from 1974 to 2003. As to e-print, 109,492 citations to 15 arXiv.org archives from 1991 to 2003 were found. Since 1991, the number of citations to preprints had been decreasing, while the e-prints cited had increased. The peak e-print citation rate of 3 years observed was comparable to that of print journals.
