你还在纠结哪些期刊是”SCI期刊”，”影响因子”多少吗？你还在疑惑什么是“ESI前1%的学科、ESI高被引论文、世界前1%的研究机构、世界前1%的作者、ESI热点论文”吗？现在，是时候了解一下什么是”自然指数”，哪些期刊是”自然指数期刊”了，因为有些机构已经规定只有发表在”自然指数期刊”上的论文才能用于评奖评优或绩效考核了。

1. 自然指数简介

自然指数（Nature Index），网址：https://www.natureindex.com/ 。

它是依托于全球顶级期刊（2014年11月开始选定68种，2018年6月改为82种），
统计各高校、科研院所（国家）在国际上最具影响力的研究型学术期刊上发表论文数量的数据库。
运用这个数据库，可以根据各机构的论文发表数量及类别来进行排名和期刊索引，这一数据库的实时在线版免费为公众开放。

2019年6月20日，2019自然指数年度榜单正式发布，中国科学院再次位列全球首位 。

2. 自然指数期刊 Nature Index journals

自然指数期刊（82种），如果按照学科分类主要包括化学（20种期刊）、地球与环境科学（16种期刊）、生命科学（43种期刊）以及物理学（24种期刊），因为有些综合性期刊如Nature, Science等涉及到多个学科，因此按照学科分类的期刊总数超过82种。因此我们先按照期刊名称字母顺序列出自然指数统计期刊一览表，详见下述。

4.1 Nature Index更新方式

根据知识共享协议，自然指数最近12个月的数据快照都在指数网站上滚动发布(每月更新)，以方便用户分析自己的科研产出情况。通过该网站，科研机构可根据大的学科分类浏览自己最近12个月的论文产出情况，各机构的国际和国内科研合作情况也有显示。

4.2 统计指标

自然指数有三种计量方法来追踪作者的单位信息：

• 论文计数 (article count/AC) - 不论一篇文章有一个还是多个作者，每位作者所在的国家或机构都获得1个AC分值。

• 分数式计量（fractional count/FC）- FC考虑的是每位论文作者的相对贡献。一篇文章的FC总分值为1，在假定每人的贡献是相同的情况下，该分值由所有作者平等共享。例如，一篇论文有十个作者，那每位作者的FC得分为0.1。如果作者有多个工作单位，那其个人FC分值将在这些工作单位中再进行平均分配。

• 加权分数式计量（weighted fractional count/WFC）- 即为FC增加权重，以调整占比过多的天文学和天体物理学论文。这两个学科有四种期刊入选自然指数，其发表的论文量约占该领域国际期刊论文发表量的50%，大致相当于其它学科的五倍。因此，尽管其数据编制方法与其他学科相同，但这四种期刊上论文的权重为其他论文的1/5。
