摘要
本文主要讨论地理文献特征,阐明文献分布的规律。 地理学是研究地表各种自然、人文现象的内在联系及演变规律的科学。它富于综合性、区域性,又是和许多学科交叉叠合的一门跨界学科。地理学的这些性质、特征必然反映到文献上来。地理文献的使用寿命比一般学科文献要长;地理文献的来源或分布要比一般学科文献格外分散。本文通过对若干文摘期刊及书刊引用文献统计分析,表明从事地理研究所参考引用的期刊文献,仅25％左右来自地理期刊,从事综合及总结性研究时高于这个此例,从事部门地理或带有技术性研究时低于这个比例。大部分参考文献则来源于相关学科期刊,这是地理工作者经常要比较多时间翻阅各种书刊去搜集资料的原因。 最后,本文阐述了从事地理文献研究对了解地理学发展趋势、选择课题、查找文献以及改进文献管理工作的实际意义。
This paper deals with the characteristics of the geographical literature and explains the regularity of its distribution.Geography studies the inner relationships and the law of evolution of various natural and human phenomena.It is a synthetic and regional science interrelated and overlapped with many other disciplines. It is only natural that these characteristics give impact to geographical literature.The usage of geographical literature lasts longer than that of other kinds of literature, and its source and distribution are particularly scattered. By analyzing the literature cited from the digests and magazines, this paper shows that in the li-teraure of periodicals used by geographers, only about 25% come from geographical periodicals. The percentage is higher in the synthetic and summary study, and lower in the study of the branches of geography or of techniques. A large part of the reference comes from the periodicals of related disciplines. That is the reason why geographers have to spend more time in collecting data from different books and magazines.Finally, this paper elucidates the significance for those who study the geographical literature to understand the trend of the development of geography, the selection of tasks, the consultation of literature as well as the improvement of its management.
