The Research of International Historical Geography during 1981～2010:A Statistical Analysis from Journal of Historical Geography

《历史地理学杂志》是一份具有高学术质量的历史地理学国际学术期刊。通过对《历史地理学杂志》1981～2010年间所发表的论文、书评等的统计分析,结果表明,过去30年间,在研究内容方面,历史地理研究涉及5大领域18个方面,历史人文地理研究始终是热点领域,历史自然地理研究始终是薄弱环节,历史文化地理研究越来越热;在作者来源方面,历史地理作者来自全球36个国家,欧美化现象十分突出,英国、美国、加拿大籍作者占90%以上,与此同时,多元化特征趋弱,作者国籍从1981～1990年间的35个国家减少到2001～2010年间的19个国家;在研究区域方面,热点区域是欧美发达国家,对英国、美国、法国、加拿大4国的研究最多,欧洲、非洲、太平洋地区、加勒比海地区、大西洋等地区也受到较多关注。
