电子期刊对学术信息行为影响的定性研究

A Qualitative Study of the Impact of Electronic Journals on Scholarly Information Behavior

对加泰罗尼亚地区(西班牙)的高校进行的一项定性研究表明,与以前相比,现在的高校研究人员阅读量更大,内容也更广泛。电子期刊的使用节省了研究人员到图书馆进行实体浏览的次数,网页浏览和邮件提醒(TOC)也正在一定程度上取代实体浏览。为了追踪最新研究动向,网络搜索已成为研究人员最常用的技术手段,谷歌学术已成为他们获取学术信息的重要渠道。与此同时,研究人员的阅读却趋于表面,在学术信息的个性化管理方面还存在诸多问题。

Our qualitative study in Catalan universities shows that academic researchers now are reading more and more widely. However, their reading is becoming more superficial. The electronic accessibility of journals means that web browsing and table of contents （TOC） e-mail alerts are replacing physical browsing, and web searching is a very popular option for them to keep up with new developments, lnternet search engines, especially Google and Google Scholar, are becoming important sources of information for researchers. However, academic researchers face problems in managing their personal scientific information.
