電子期刊是學者重視的學術文獻，許多研究探討歐美科學家學術期刊資訊尋求行為。但華文學者使用學術期刊有別於西方，除了英文期刊，他們大量閱讀中文期刊，因此大中華的社會科學學者期刊使用值得關注。本研究探討中國大陸的社會科學學者電子期刊論文閱讀行為以及與科學家的差異。本研究採用問卷調查與關鍵事件法，於2012年2月到4月間以立意抽樣針對武漢大學與南京大學的社會科學教師與研究生發送紙本問卷，共回收405份問卷，有效問卷374份。本研究依據電子期刊閱讀架構進行調查，包括學者資訊需求、電子期刊資訊檢索、閱讀處理、與閱讀結果。研究結果發現：96%的中國大陸社會科學學者重視電子期刊，58.1%學者閱讀中文電子期刊論文，一年平均閱讀407篇電子期刊論文，每篇論文閱讀68.51分鐘，每年閱讀花費465小時。92%的學者會先在螢幕瀏覽以決定是否閱讀；60.5%學者在螢幕閱讀，只有14.8%學者列印紙本閱讀，24.7%學者採用混合閱讀。80.9%的學者閱讀電子期刊後感到滿意，採用多種閱讀方法，包括42.1%全部閱讀、26.2%反覆閱讀、23.3%部分閱讀、8.4%對照閱讀。79.3%學者閱讀時作筆記標註，91.2%學者會用電腦管理論文電子檔。本研究證實螢幕閱讀普遍出現，以及中國大陸的社會科學學者電子期刊閱讀行為主要有四種類型：螢幕瀏覽、螢幕閱讀、列印閱讀與對照閱讀。

This study attempts to investigate the electronic journal reading behavior of social scientists in China. The main purposes of the study are firstly, to generally explore the importance of e-journals in social scientists' research, secondly to specifically examine the e-journal reading behavior of Chinese social scientists, and lastly to make comparisons of different types of e-journal reading behavior between social scientists in China and social scientists in Western countries. Two surveys were respectively carried out in Wu-Han University and in Nanjing University in China in 2012. The target population included the social sciences faculty members and researchers of Wu-Han University and Nanjing University, from whom 374 valid questionnaires were collected. Analysis of these questionnaires shows that 96% of social scientists in China appreciate the resources of e-journals, and 58.1% of them read Chinese electronic articles, with an annual average of 407 e-journal articles on an individual basis, which approximates 465 reading hours annually. Information regarding the e-journal reading environment, reading methods, reading strategies, and reading effects of social scientists in China are described and appraised. Four types of e-journal reading behavior of social scientists in China are also observed in this study, including screen browsing, screen-based reading, print reading, and cross-references between electronic and print reading material.
