本文回顾了学科学分分配实践的文献，并提出了经济学、高能物理和信息科学领域学分分配实践的纵向研究结果。事实证明，按字母顺序排列作者姓名的做法在不同领域之间存在显着差异。过去 30 年（1978 年至 2007 年）经济略有增长。同期，信息科学领域出现了大幅下降。研究发现，在调查期间（1990-2007 年），高能物理学的特点是按字母顺序排列的多位作者所占比例较高且稳定。在进行文献计量分析时，了解此类学科差异非常重要。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The paper reviews the literature on disciplinary credit assignment practices, and presents the results of a longitudinal study of credit assignment practices in the fields of economics, high energy physics, and information science. The practice of alphabetization of authorship is demonstrated to vary significantly between the fields. A slight increase is found to have taken place in economics during the last 30 years (1978-2007). A substantial decrease is found to have taken place in information science during the same period. High energy physics is found to be characterised by a high and stable share of alphabetized multi-authorships during the investigated period (1990-2007). It is important to be aware of such disciplinary differences when conducting bibliometric analyses. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
