Abstract The user’s setting status regarding privacy permissions can reflect the conditions of the user s privacy protection; therefore, this paper analyzes the privacy preferences of academic social network users and the impact of usersattributes on their privacy protection behaviors by analyzing the privacy permission setting behaviors of users in academic social networks. Taking Sciencenet.cn as an example, this paper investigates the privacy protection of 1032 bloggers who utilized libraries, information, and archives. The research includes three aspects. We obtain the information on privacy permission settings restricting the bloggerspersonal information and analyze the main types of privacy information that users are concerned about. According to the registration date of the bloggers of Sciencenet.cn, we analyze the impact of registration date on usersprivacy protection behaviors. According to the educational level of the bloggers on Sciencenet.cn, we analyze the impact of educational level on usersprivacy protection behaviors. The findings suggest that there are differences between academic social network users and regular social network users regarding privacy protection. The Sciencenet.cn bloggers pay attention to privacy protection. They are especially concerned about the privacy and security of personally identifiable information, and they tend to disclose information related to their academics in order to promote academic communication. Over time, the degree of privacy protection of Sciencenet.cn bloggers has been rising. Recently registered bloggers on Sciencenet.cn pay more attention to the privacy of basic personal information than the established bloggers. The recently registered bloggers tend to value academic communication. Their educational level has no effect on the privacy protection behavior of users in academic social networks.
