地理模拟模型可以用于探索和更好地了解地理环境。地理和社会环境研究的最新进展导致用于这一目的的模型数量急剧增加。一些模型存储库为用户提供了探索和应用模型的机会，但是很少有模型存储库为评估模型的适用性和可识别性提供通用的评估方法。本研究提出了一种模型的学术影响评价方法。根据指标的针对性设计了五个指标。采用层次分析法计算各指标权重，采用加权和法量化各模型的学术影响。对时间范围进行了控制，以评估模型的生命周期和年度学术影响。然后对来自不同领域的满足评估标准的一些模型进行评估。结果表明，该方法可以量化模型的学术影响，并识别出模型影响的主要研究领域。
ABSTRACT Geographic simulation models can be used to explore and better understand the geographical environment. Recent advances in geographic and socio-environmental research have led to a dramatic increase in the number of models used for this purpose. Some model repositories provide opportunities for users to explore and apply models, but few provide a general evaluation method for assessing the applicability and recognition of models. In this study, an academic impact evaluation method for models is proposed. Five indices are designed based on their pertinence. The analytical hierarchy process is used to calculate the index weights, and the academic impacts of models are quantified with the weighted sum method. The time range is controlled to evaluate the life-term and annual academic impacts of the models. Some models that met the evaluation criteria from different domains are then evaluated. The results show that the academic impact of a model can be quantified with the proposed method, and the major research areas that models impact are identified.
