Scientometric data on the citation success of different publication types and publication genres in psychology publications are presented. Data refer to references that are cited in these scientific publications and that are documented in PSYNDEX, the exhaustive database of psychology publications from the German-speaking countries either published in German or in English language. Firstly, data analyses refer to the references that are cited in publications of 2009 versus 2010 versus 2011. With reference to all cited references, the portion of journal articles ranges from 57 to 61 %, of books from 22 to 24 %, and of book chapters from 14 to 15 %, with a rather high stability across the three publication years analysed. Secondly, data analyses refer to the numbers of cited references from the German-speaking countries, which are also documented in PSYNDEX. These compose about 11 % of all cited references indicating that nearly 90 % of the references cited are of international and/or interdisciplinary publications not stemming from the German-speaking countries. The subsample shows the proportion of journal articles, books, and chapters, and these are very similar to the percentages identified for all references that are cited. Thirdly, analyses refer to document type, scientific genre, and psychological sub-discipline of the most frequently cited references in the psychology publications. The frequency of top-cited references of books and book chapters is almost equal to that of journal articles; two-thirds of the top-cited references are non-empirical publications, only one-third are empirical publications. Top-cited references stem particularly from clinical psychology, experimental psychology, as well as tests, testing and psychometrics. In summary, the results point to the fact that citation analyses, which are limited to journal papers, tend to neglect very high portions of references that are cited in scientific publications.
本文呈现了心理学出版物中不同出版类型和出版体裁的文献计量数据。这些数据涉及在这些科学出版物中被引用且记录在PSYNDEX中的参考文献，PSYNDEX是德语国家心理学出版物的详尽数据库，出版物语言为德语或英语。首先，数据分析涉及2009年、2010年和2011年出版物中被引用的参考文献。就所有被引用的参考文献而言，期刊文章的比例在57%至61%之间，书籍的比例在22%至24%之间，书籍章节的比例在14%至15%之间，在分析的三个出版年份中相当稳定。其次，数据分析涉及德语国家被引用参考文献的数量，这些也记录在PSYNDEX中。这些约占所有被引用参考文献的11%，表明近90%的被引用参考文献是来自非德语国家的国际和/或跨学科出版物。子样本显示了期刊文章、书籍和章节的比例，这些与所有被引用参考文献的百分比非常相似。第三，分析涉及心理学出版物中最常被引用参考文献的文献类型、科学体裁和心理学子学科。书籍和书籍章节中被引用次数最多的参考文献频率几乎与期刊文章相同；三分之二被引用次数最多的参考文献是非实证出版物，只有三分之一是实证出版物。被引用次数最多的参考文献尤其来自临床心理学、实验心理学以及测试、测验和心理测量学。总之，结果表明，仅限于期刊论文的引文分析往往会忽略科学出版物中很大一部分被引用的参考文献。
