定量分析中国艺术人文领域国际论文的发展与演变

Development and Evolution：The Quantitative Analysis of International Publications by Chinese Authors in Arts and Humanities

本研究利用艺术与人文引文索引Arts＆Humanities Citations Index 1984～2008的数据,对中国在人文艺术领域发表的国际论文进行了统计与分析。采用定量分析的方法,并结合Thomson Data Analyzer和Cite Space等数据分析工具与可视化软件,从数量增长、中心学科演变、机构分布和合著情况几个方面展开研究,得到以下主要发现：中国艺术人文领域的论文整体发展态势正在迅速上升,数量呈现出指数增长的趋势。利用Cite Space软件对不同时间片断的学科分布状态比较发现,论文数最多的学科和研究中心正在逐渐演变。亚洲研究是最初的唯一核心学科,最后文学学科和语言语音学相关学科分别形成了新的研究中心。香港高校和其他研究机构产出的论文在中国论文中占据很大比例。借鉴h指数的定义思路,本研究提出了h-org指标,用于评价不同时间区间内参与论文产出的机构规模和能力。与自然科学领域明显不同的是,人文艺术领域合著论文的比例很低。尽管合著论文数量不多,国际合著的伙伴仍然分散在二十几个国家和地区。其中美国和中国合著论文最多。

Using the Arts Humanities Citation Index（AHCI） 1984-2008,this paper analyzes the statistics data of the international output in the field of arts and humanities in China.Quantitative analysis is the core method in this study with data analysis tool and visual software such as Thomson Data Analyzer（TDA） and Cite Space.Researching in the sides of amount increasing,core subjects changing,distribution on organizations and co-author,the following are found：in the view of the big picture,the amount of international output in the field of arts and humanities in China is increasing quickly.Focusing on different time spices map in time span,we found that the core subject has changed.Asian Study was the traditional biggest and only core subject in 1980s,however in recent years,the literature subject and language series subject group have grown and became two more core subjects.The articles from Hong Kong share about one quarter of total articles in China.According to h index,a new index named h-org is defined to quantify a group of organization＇ s research scale and ability in certain time span.In the field of arts and humanities,it is very different to in the field of nature science that the rate of co-authored paper is very low.Although there are not too many co-authored papers,more than 20 partner countries and areas distributed in the world and the United States got the most papers co-anthored with China.
