摘要：【目的】探究新冠论文对期刊影响因子的贡献情况，深化对期刊影响因子这一指标本质特征的认识，以期为中国期刊影响力的提升和发展建设提供参考，同时为科技期刊的合理评价提供参考。【方法】根据科睿唯安发布的2022年度《期刊引证报告》（Journal Citation Reports）中期刊影响因子猛增的现象，对1.1万种期刊发表的约364万篇发文（新冠论文约3.3万篇）及1864万条引用数据进行定量分析，探究新冠论文被引、新冠论文贡献率与期刊影响因子增幅之间的关系，系统揭示新冠论文对不同分区、学科领域及中国期刊影响因子的贡献。【结果】新冠论文对87%的期刊影响因子有正向贡献，对影响因子增幅贡献率为31.14%，且期刊所在JCR分区越高，贡献越大。新冠论文的影响范围不限于临床医学和精神病与心理学领域，生物、化学等领域同样受到了较大影响。中国期刊影响因子提升较快，新冠论文是重要助力之一，对JIF增幅的贡献率达到20.51%。【结论】科学研究的“新冠化”对绝大多数期刊影响因子的提升做出贡献，未来中国期刊在面对此类重大突发事件时，应善于抓住研究前沿和热点，增强应急出版能力，提升学术影响力和品牌辨识度。同时，要探索更鲁棒的指标、更细致的分类体系来应对此类突发事件为科研评价体系带来的巨大挑战。

[英文摘要]Abstract: Purposes To explore the impact of COVID-19 papers on journal impact factors, so as to deepen the understanding of the essential characteristics of this index, help to provide suggestions for the improvement of the influence of Chinese journals and also provide a reference for the rational evaluation of Sci-tech journals. Methods In view of the inflationary growth of journal impact factors based on Journal Citation Reports 2022,about 3.64 million publications and 18.64 million citations of 11,000 journals indexed by SCIE and SSCI were obtained, and about 33,000 COVID-19 papers are identified. The relationship between the contribution rate of COVID-19 papers and the increase of journal impact factor, and explore the contribution of COVID-19 papers to different divisions, subject areas and the impact factor of Chinese journals. Findings COVID-19 publications have positive effects on JIF in 87% journals, and have a contribution of 31.14% to the increasement of JIF. And the higher the JCR quartile of the journal, the greater the contribution. This effect is not limited to clinical medicine journals. China’s scientific journals have shown a large growth in JIF with 20.51% can be attributed to COVID-19 publications. Conclusions “Covidization” of scientific research has contributed to the increase in the impact factor of most journals. In face of such major public health emergencies, Chinese journals should seize research frontiers and hotspots, enhance emergency publishing capabilities, and improve academic influence and brand recognition. At the same time, more robust indicators and more fine-grained classification systems should be explored to meet the great challenges brought by such emergencies to the scientific research evaluation system.
