艾滋病研究进展的文献计量学分析

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF DEVELOPMENTS IN ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME

目的：探讨艾滋病（ＡＩＤＳ）研究的规律性及其发展趋势，为确定ＡＩＤＳ研究方向提供依据。方法：应用文献计量学方法分析１９８２～１９９７年间７１个国家和地区发表的４６２８７篇ＡＩＤＳ研究文献的动态变化。结果：１６年来的ＡＩＤＳ研究文献数量先呈快速增长趋势，１９８８年后开始下降，英文文献占全部ＡＩＤＳ研究文献的８２．３６％，美国和英国是当前世界上发表ＡＩＤＳ研究文献最多的国家，占被索文献总量的６９．５０％。３８种期刊被初步确定为ＡＩＤＳ研究核心期刊；ＡＩＤＳ的临床、预防和控制研究为当前ＡＩＤＳ研究的主要内容，高新技术手段和方法已对ＡＩＤＳ的研究产生重要影响。结论：我国ＡＩＤＳ研究的投入要结合ＡＩＤＳ在中国的流行特点和医学科学发展的实际情况，注意参考国际ＡＩＤＳ研究的走向。

Objective :To explore the regularity and general trend of the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) research so as to provide scientific basis for determining the orientation of AIDS research. Methods ]:With the method of bibliometrics, 46287 documents on AIDS published during 1982￣ 1997 in 71 countries were analyzed. Results :In the past 16 years the research articles about AIDS had a rapid increase in quantity at first, then it showed a tendency to decrease from after 1988.
