科学知识扩散研究框架

A Research Framework for Scientific Knowledge Diffusion

通过对科学知识扩散相关文献的梳理,构建科学知识扩散的研究框架,并对研究对象、扩散关系表示、衡量指标、扩散模型等方面进行详细评述。扩散的对象包括期刊、学科、科研人员等,扩散过程主要以文献引证和作者合著关系表示。在实证中,基于文献引证关系的引文及引文网络分析是科学知识扩散的主流研究方法,衡量指标可以按照测度粒度分为文章、期刊、学科3个层次。现有科学知识扩散的模型研究以定性研究为主,定量化分析较少,常见思路为跨学科借鉴成熟模型。

We tease out a general framework for scientific knowledge diffusion studies based on analysis of related literature in this field. Detailed review and comments are given on aspects of research object, diffusion relationship, indicators and diffusion models. The research objects can be basically divided into academic fields and scholars. The process of diffusion is usually represented by citation or co-author relations. In empirical studies, citation analysis is the major method for scientific knowledge diffusion research. Indicators are classified into three levels which are article, journal, and discipline. Current scientific knowledge model studies are mainly qualitative with a few quantitative analysis methods, and a common way for model study in this field is to refer to advanced models in other subjects.
