Abstract

Academic publications play an increasingly significant role in policy documents. Various institutions use publications as policy supporting materials to make them more scientific. In recent years, policy altmetric measurement has gradually become an important measurement index. This paper collects the information on Altmetric.com from 2012 to 2017. From the perspectives of publication, country of publication and policy-making country, this paper analyzes its different performance in the time of policy mention, citations of publication, Altmetric Attention Score, subjects and other indicators. The results show that the situation of publications mentioned by policy is highly related to its own quality. Taking the country as a unit, the total times of publication mentioned by policy is significantly related to the national scientific research strength. From the perspective of policy-making countries, publications mentioned by different countries show slightly different in different indicators. From the perspective of policy-making country-literature subject-country of publication, the subjects are mainly focused on health, economy, science and technology, etc., mainly from the United States and the United Kingdom.
