跨学科研究的文献计量及可视化分析

Bibliometric Study on Interdisciplinary Research Articles and Its Visualization

以2004-2013年Web of Science数据库中跨学科研究论文作为数据源,运用文献计量法分析了"跨学科"研究论文国别分布、机构分布以及各国跨学科研究涉及的学科领域分布,并通过建立学科共现网络分析了四大主流研究机构跨学科研究的特色,最后从时间演化的角度探讨了近十年来跨学科研究热点及研究前沿。通过研究发现近十年跨学科研究论文产出主要集中在欧美国家,中国排名第十位,且各国对不同学科领域的交叉研究各有侧重。跨学科研究机构以高校为主,四大主流研究机构或多或少都涉及到医学、卫生保健领域跨学科研究,但面向的学科各有不同。

Taking interdisciplinary research articles retrieved from Web of Science between 2004 and 2013 as a sample, this paper used the bibliometric method to analyze those articles＇ institutional distribution, national distribution, and disciplinary distribution. Then through establishing the discipline co-occurrence network,this paper revealed the characteristics of interdisciplinary research in four representative universities. Finally, we explored the hot topics and the research frontier in interdisciplinary research over the past decade. Through the a-bove analysis, we found that interdisciplinary research articles are mainly published by European and American authors over the past dec-ade, and China is ranked at the tenth place in terms of publications;different countries have their particular focus in their interdisciplinary studies. Universities are very productive in interdisciplinary research, and the four universities we examined are all closely involved in in-terdisciplinary research in medicine and health care, but with different focus.
