基于文献计量学的科学结构及其演化的研究方法述评

Review of Science Structure and Evolution of Bibliometric Methods

首先介绍几种主要的基于文献计量学的科学结构及演化研究方法,包括基于引文分析的方法、基于文本挖掘的内容词分析方法以及基于引文和内容词的混合分析方法,然后对这几种方法的优劣进行对比,最后建议将混合方法进一步应用于科学结构及演化研究及新兴趋势的探测,同时加强方法对比研究,以便针对不同的研究领域或者数据范围选择适当的方法,希望不同的混合方法能为情报学带来新的研究思路和方法,促进情报学的发展。

Based on bibliometrics, several principal research methods of science structure and evolution, including the method of citation analysis, the method of content words analysis and the method of bibliometrics combining with content words analysis, are introduced at first, and then we compare the pros and cons of these methods. At last, we suggest that the hybrid method can be applied in researching science structure and evolution and detecting the emerging trends, and that we should enhance the contrast of these methods, in order to choose the appropriate method for different areas or data. We hope that different hybrid methods can enrich the methodology of information science and promote the development of information science.
