对国外研究网络信息计量学文献的定量分析

Quantitative Analysis of Foreign Literatures on Webometric Studies

从文献量、地区和机构、著者、期刊、研究主题等角度,对1996年以来国外关于网络信息计量学的75篇研究文献进行归类统计和分析,指出网络信息计量学研究虽处在探索阶段,但其对网络信息资源的测度与评价,对加强和改善网络的科学化与规范化管理有着重要意义。

Webometrics is a new branch of informetrics emerging since ~e mid-1990s. It merges modern information and networkteehniques into the traditional theories of bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics, therefore, is significantly worthy for researeh.However, the amount of related research materials about Webometrics has been limited so far. Using 75 foreign articles on Webometriestudies since 1996, the paper statistically classifies the papers from the aspects of article numbers, regions and institutions, authors,source journals and themes, hoping to show the current research status and the future of Webometric studies.
