This paper presents a bibliometric analysis that examines the works cited in, as well as those citing, NIME papers; for brevity, we refer to these as `references` and `citations`. Utilizing existing tools, we have computationally extracted data from the NIME proceedings archive and retrieved metadata from an academic database, including details of associated references and citations. From this data, we computed a range of metrics and statistics, which we present in this paper. We offer quantitative insights into NIME as a scholarly publication venue, its connections to other venues, and its relationship with various fields of study and authors. Based on our data interpretations, we provide several recommendations for the community's future. In sharing the software we developed for this study, and the summarized raw data, we enable other NIME researchers to conduct more in-depth investigations and examine specific trends.
翻译:本文通过文献计量学方法,系统分析了NIME论文的参考文献及施引文献——为简洁起见,分别称为"被引文献"与"施引文献"。我们利用现有工具,从NIME会议论文档案中计算性提取数据,并从学术数据库中检索元数据(含相关参考文献与引用的详细信息)。基于这些数据,本文计算了一系列指标与统计量,提供了关于NIME作为学术发表平台、其与其他学术平台的关联、以及与不同研究领域和作者关系的量化洞见。根据数据解读结果,我们为该领域未来发展提出了多项建议。通过共享本研究开发的软件及汇总的原始数据,我们期待能为其他NIME研究者开展更深入的专题调研和趋势分析提供支持。
