本研究通过对1985-2018年发表在科技哲学三大期刊上的423篇科学社会学实证研究论文的文献计量分析,揭示了科学社会学实证研究在中国的发展状况及趋势,包括论文发表的时间、作者、机构、选题方向以及方法类型等分布情况,梳理了科学社会学实证研究选题方向与研究方法之间的对应关系。结果显示,科学社会学实证研究的研究谱系业已形成,学科建制化发展正在稳步推进;作为连接哲学思辨与社会现实的桥梁,科学社会学在选题方向上紧密围绕国家的科技战略,反映了中国学术共同体的担当和进步;科学技术的快速发展对科学社会学乃至科技哲学提出了新的要求,也是新的机遇,中国科技哲学的多元化发展值得期待。

Based on the bibliometric analysis of 423 empirical articles in sociology of science that published on three major journals,distributions of time series,scholars and institutions,research directions,and detailed methods,were explored to describe the current development of empirical research in sociology of science in China,especially the corresponding relationship between research directions and detailed methods.The results show that the empirical research pedigree of sociology of science has been formed and the development of discipline institutionalization is steadily advancing;as a bridge connecting philosophical speculation and social reality,sociology of science has been closely concentrated on the scientific and technological strategy of the country,reflecting the responsibility and progress of the Chinese academic community;the rapid development of science and technology is putting new requirements as well as new opportunities on the development of sociology of science.The diversified development of philosophy of science and technology in China is worth pursuing.
