情报学学科结构的ABCA及ACA对比研究——以2000-2010年数据为例

Disciplinary Structure of Information Science:A Comparative Study of ABCA and ACA Based on the Data of 2000-2010

以SCI&SSCI 2000-2010年间情报学的相关数据为样本,结合传统的ACA(作者共被引)方法,以ABCA(作者文献耦合分析)方法为研究视角,探析2000-2010情报学的学科结构,并进行ABCA与ACA的比较研究。研究探测到了情报学的几位具有较强研究活力以及广泛影响力的学者,如Thelwall,M、Leydesdorff,L、Cronin,B、White,HD、Meho,LI等。探寻到情报学的7个主要研究主题:科学计量学、网络资源管理与配置、信息检索、信息系统、知识管理、用户交互与服务、科学评价,其中科学计量学和网络资源管理与配置是2个主流研究主题;研究认为,各研究主题之间的融合还有待于进一步加强。在研究主题探测方面,ABCA是以当前活跃的作者的角度进行分析;ACA则是以对情报学产生持续影响的作者为角度。ABCA可以探寻到更多的研究主题,但ABCA与ACA探测到的主题内容没有太大出入。

This paper takes SCI＆SSCI relevant data of information science from 2000 to 2010 as example, combining the traditional ACA with ABCA as a research perspective, analyzes the disciplinary structure of information science 2000-2010, and then conducts a compara-tive study of ABCA and ACA. The research detects several scholars with strong vitality and broad influence, such as Thelwall, M, Leydesdorff, L, Cronin, B, White, HD, Meho, LI, etc. Author posting content, coupling frequency, and the coupling network centrali-ty are related, but the correlation is not strong. The paper explores the seven major research themes of Information Science： Scientomet-rics, Network Resource Management and Configuration, Information Retrieval, Information Systems, Knowledge Management, User In-teraction and Service, and Scientific Evaluation. Scientometrics, Network Resource Management and Configuration are mainstream re-search fields. In terms of research topic detection, ABCA is based on current active authors, and ACA is based on the authors with the continuing impact on information science. ABCA can explore more research themes than ACA, but there is little difference among research themes being detected by them.
