本文报告了一项文献计量学研究的特点和影响的研究在图书馆和情报学（LIS）领域，这是通过研究资助计划资助，并比较它与研究，没有收到额外的资金。七个核心图书情报学期刊进行了检查，以确定在1998年发表的文章，承认研究资助资金。根据各种标准（例如，主题、隶属关系、供资机构）。在1998 - 2008年期间，通过引用计数来评估其影响力，并使用从Scopus引文跟踪器收集的引用数据，对同年在相同期刊上发表的未确认额外资金的文章进行评估。无论是总体还是在每一份期刊上，以引用次数衡量的赠款资助研究的影响都大大高于其他研究。来自LIS核心机构以外的学者为赠款资助的研究做出了巨大贡献。到目前为止，两个影响最大的出版物报告的非赠款为基础的研究，和赠款为基础的研究报告在核心LIS期刊的资助偏向于信息检索（IR）领域，特别是对IR系统的研究。报告赠款资助的研究的文章的百分比在以信息为导向的期刊中比在以图书馆为重点的期刊中高得多。
This paper reports on a bibliometric study of the characteristics and impact of research in the library and information science (LIS) field which was funded through research grant programs, and compares it with research that received no extra funding. Seven core LIS journals were examined to identify articles published in 1998 that acknowledge research grant funding. The distribution of these articles by various criteria (e.g., topic, affiliation, funding agency) was determined. Their impact as indicated by citation counts during 1998-2008 was evaluated against that of articles without acknowledging extra funding and published in the same journals in the same year using citation data collected from Scopus' Citation Tracker. The impact of grant-funded research as measured by citation counts was substantially higher than that of other research, both overall and in each journal individually. Scholars from outside LIS core institutions contributed heavily to grant-funded research. The two highest-impact publications by far reported non-grant-based research, and grant-based funding of research reported in core LIS journals was biased towards the information retrieval (IR) area, particularly towards research on IR systems. The percentage of articles reporting grant-funded research was substantially higher in information-oriented journals than in library-focused ones.
