我国情报学研究方法的计量分析：以1999～2008年《情报学报》为例

A Bibliometric Study on Research Methods of Information Science in China：Taking JOCSSTI（1999-2008） as Example

研究方法的成熟与规范应用是情报学进一步发展的必要条件。为了揭示近年来我国情报学研究方法应用的变化趋势,本文选择了我国情报学领域CSSCI影响因子最高的《情报学报》作为分析样本。本文首先分析了情报学的跨学科特点以及与此特点相对应的研究方法的构成,构造了情报学研究方法的分类标准;然后对1999～2008十年间《情报学报》全部学术论文共1174篇的研究方法进行了逐篇分析与统计。结果表明我国情报学研究方法的科学化与理论化趋势正在逐年增强。其中,一般理论研究总计占29.6%,并且在近年迅速下降;计算机信息技术相关方法占49%,是《情报学报》采用最多的方法;文献与信息计量方法占15.5%,并且逐年上升;内容分析方法、统计调查方法则在一个较低的水平上轻微上升。

It is a necessary condition for further development of information science to apply research methods appropriately. In order to reveal the changing trends of the application of research methods in information science in China in recent years,this paper chooses JOCSSTI（Journal of The China Society For Scientific and Technical Information） as the source of data analyzed, which has the highest CSSCI impact factor among the information science periodicals in China.Firstly,the paper analyzes the interdisciplinary characteristics of information science and its corresponding research methods and constructs the classification criteria of these methods.And then,the paper analyzes the research methods of all 1174 academic papers of JOCSSTI during 1999-2008.The results show that the research methods applied in JOCSSTI trends more and more scientific and theoretical in recent years.Among them,the common theoretical researches take 29.6%and decrease rapidly in recent years,the methods related with computer and information technology are the most adopted ones and occupy 49%,informetrics and bibliometrics methods occupy 15.5%and increase year by year,and content analysis method and statistical survey method increase slightly at a low level every year.
