中外图书情报学研究方法量化比较

An Informetric Comparison on LIS Methodology between Chinese and Foreign Articles

以图书情报学的10种外文重要期刊和3种中文重要期刊所刊载的论文为样本集,用等距抽样方法每年抽取2期为频次,规律性读取2001—2010十年间论文并归纳论文采用的方法信息,用信息计量法分析中外差异。结果表明国内研究以定性为主,尤其非实证研究的论文比率高出国外近20倍;国外的资料收集方法更具多样性,多用定量的、归纳的、实证的研究方法。借鉴国外的研究方法,有助于提升国内图书情报学的学术水平,使其融入国际学术范式。
