科技论文关键词“不关键”原因探析

Reasons for the key words “not key” in scientific papers

在中国学术期刊全文数据库中,对农业科技类目中农艺学、植物保护、农作物和园艺4个学科领域刊文的关键词进行调查分析,发现这4个学科论文中出现频次排名前40的关键词中有较多的泛化关键词出现,主要表现为从论文题名中抽取关键词但漏标主题内容、关键词标引顺序和逻辑关系混乱等问题。要杜绝泛化关键词,需要及时修订或制订操作性强的科技论文关键词选取标准和规范,作者和期刊编辑对科技论文关键词的重要性要有正确的认识,高度重视论文关键词的标引工作,科技期刊编辑部可结合自己期刊刊文的学科特点,在编校规范中对关键词的标引提出可操作性的规范和要求。

Based on investigating and analyzing the keywords of the four subject areas of agronomy,plant protection,crops and horticulture in the agricultural science and technology category in the full-text database of Chinese academic journals,we found that there are more generalized keywords in the first 40 keywords of these four disciplines,mainly including the extraction of keywords from the title of the paper but missing the subject matter,the order of keyword indexing and the confusion of logical relations.In order to eliminate generalized keywords,it is necessary to revise or formulate operationally strong scientific papers keyword selection standards and specifications in a timely manner.Authors and journal editors must have a correct understanding of the importance of scientific paper keywords,and attach great importance to the indexing of paper keywords.The editorial department of scientific journals should combine the characteristics of the journals of their own journals and put forward the operability norms and requirements for the indexing of keywords in editing process.
