过去十年中 arXiv 预印本服务器 (astro-ph) 的使用不断增加，导致天文学研究传播方式发生了重大转变。 Schwarz & Kennicutt (2004) 最近发现，发表在 astro-ph 上的《天体物理学杂志》论文被引用的次数大约是未发表的论文的两倍，这表明预印本服务器已成为许多天文学家了解文献的主要资源。我描述了一种简单的方法，可以使用 NASA 的天体物理数据系统 (ADS) 确定任何期刊随着时间的推移 astro-ph 的采用率和引用影响力。我使用 ADS 记录了 3 种主要天文学期刊采用 astro-ph 的增长情况，并对 13 种不同期刊中 astro-ph 的引用影响进行了广泛调查。我发现天文哲学论文的引用量增加两倍是大多数主要天文学期刊的共同特征。
The rise in the use of the arXiv preprint server (astro-ph) over the past decade has led to a major shift in the way astronomical research is disseminated. Schwarz & Kennicutt (2004) recently found that Astrophysical Journal papers posted to astro-ph are cited roughly twice as often as papers that are not posted, suggesting that the preprint server has become the primary resource for many astronomers to keep up with the literature. I describe a simple method to determine the adoption rate and citation impact of astro-ph over time for any journal using NASA's Astrophysics Data System (ADS). I use the ADS to document the rise in the adoption of astro-ph for three major astronomy journals, and to conduct a broad survey of the citation impact of astro-ph in 13 different journals. I find that the factor of two boost in citations for astro-ph papers is a common feature across most of the major astronomy journals.
