[Purpose/significance] By analyzing the differences of the literature reading among different disciplines in different Academic Social Networks(ASNS), it is expected to help readers understand the distribution of subjects in different ASNS and master the research hotspots in different ASNS.[Method/process] This paper collected 4 800 hot articles from 24 disciplines through Altmetric.com, used the crawler to collect the reading number in Mendeley and ResearchGate, and analyzed the literature to get the key words. Finally, this paper compared and analyzed the difference of literature reading and the consistency of hot spot in different ASNS.[Result/conclusion] The results show that there are significant differences in the distribution of the readership and the subject. RG is more than Mendeley in the number of readings, and the Soft Subjects use RG more often than Mendeley, whereas the Hard Subjects use Mendeley and RG less different. On the other hand, different ASNS have different focus on different subjects which means that the more research fields in a subject, the more dispersed of the hot spots in different ASNS.
