引文分析学的知识流动理论探析

Explore and discussion on knowledge flowing theory of citation analytics

从观念联系与知识流动的角度来探讨引文分析理论,除去那些复杂的文献引用动机或引用的社会影响因素外,可以把文献引用的过程抽象为知识流动的过程。从知识论关于知识的发展模式来看,文献引用的过程都是在前人知识的基础上知识进化的过程,是知识的选择、遗传和变异的过程,也是知识的生产、传播和应用的过程。因此,引文分析的过程就是对知识流动过程和知识活动系统的分析。

If we discussion the theory of citation analysis from the view of association of ideas and knowledge flowing and exclude the complicate citing motivations and social influence factors of citing,we can take the process of reference citing as process of knowledge flowing.From the view of knowledge development pattern,we know that the process of reference citing is evolved and survival-of-the-fittest base on former knowledge,and also of knowledge selection,inheritance,and variance,and knowledge of collection and retrieval,diffusion and transmitting,creation and increment.So,process of citation analysis is analysis on the process of knowledge flowing and on the knowledge activity system.
