We then construct a two-dimensional (academic fecundity versus academic influence) evaluation system of academic genealogy, and validate it on the academic genealogy of a famous Chinese geologist.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \n The two-dimensional evaluation system can characterize the development and evolution of the academic genealogy, compare the academic influences of different genealogies, and evaluate individuals\u2019 contributions to the inheritance and evolution of the academic genealogy. Individual academic influence is mainly indicated by the\n w<\/jats:italic>\n index (the improved\n h<\/jats:italic>\n index), which overcomes the situation of repeated measurements and distortion of results in the academic genealogy.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n The two-dimensional evaluation system for the academic genealogy can better demonstrate the reproduction and the academic inheritance ability of a genealogy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations<\/jats:title>\n \n It is not comprehensive to only use the\n w<\/jats:italic>\n index to characterize academic influence. It should also include scholars\u2019 academic awards and academic part-timers and so on. In future work, we will integrate scholars\u2019 academic awards and academic part-timers into the\n w<\/jats:italic>\n index for a comprehensive reflection of scholars\u2019 individual academic influences.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n This study constructs new models and methods of academic genealogy research based on bibliometrics, which improves the quantitative assessment of academic genealogy and enriches its research and evaluation methods.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2478\/jdis-2021-0021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]],"date-time":"2021-04-16T04:34:27Z","timestamp":1618547667000},"page":"146-163","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Bibliometric-based Study of Scientist Academic Genealogy"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ruihua","family":"Lv","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Technology Library , Beijing , China"}]},{"given":"Huan","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Technology Library , Beijing , China"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012112521008165_j_jdis-2021-0021_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bornmann, L., Mutz, R., & Daniel, H.D.
