世界一流大学研究的主题演进与前沿探讨——基于CNKI数据库关键词共现知识图谱的分析

The Topics Evolution and Frontier Trends of the Research on World-class Universities——Based on the Knowledge Mapping of Keywords in CNKI Database

世界一流大学已然成为中国高等教育研究的重要议题,明确其研究主题、研究前沿和未来走向,无疑对新时期世界一流大学的理论研究和实践探索有着重要的指导意义。依据中国知网(CNKI)数据库核心期刊文献,运用文献计量分析方法,借助CitespaceⅢ软件绘制世界一流大学研究的知识图谱,形象地揭示了一流大学的研究主题和前沿趋势。研究表明,世界一流大学的研究主题主要集中在四个方面:世界一流大学的内涵与特征、建设世界一流大学的战略要素、国外一流大学形成的路径与条件、中国建设世界一流大学的实践探索。同时,还挖掘出世界一流大学研究的两类前沿主题,一类是以人文社会科学、科教兴国战略为代表的趋弱性研究主题,一类是以中国特色、现代大学制度为代表的渐增性研究主题。这些研究结果尽管较为全面地反映了世界一流大学研究的整体态势,但对于新时期世界一流大学的研究而言,还要准确把握若干关系,即中国特色与世界一流、一流学科与一流大学、一流大学与高等教育体系之间的关系。

The world-class university has become an important issue in the research of China higher education. We should clear the research topic,the research frontier and the future trend. It is no doubt that the theory and practice of the world-class university have an important guiding significance. Based on the core periodicals of CNKI database,we draw a knowledge mapping of the research on the world-class universities with CitespaceⅢ software by the method of bibliometric analysis. The image reveals the trend of the cutting-edge research topics of the first-class universities. The research shows that the research topics on world-class universities focus on four fields：the connotation and features of the world-class universities,the strategic elements that builds the world-class universities,the paths and conditions of the construction of the foreign first-class universities and the practice that constructs the world-class universities in China. Meanwhile,we also dig out two kinds of the frontier topic of the world-class university research：one is the weaker research themes based on the humanities and social sciences,technology and education for country,the other is the increasing research themes based on Chinese characteristics, world-class university. Despite these findings more fully reflects the overall research trend of the world-class universities,but for the world-class research universities in new era,we should hold accurately the relationship be tween the Chinese characteristics and the world-class, the first-class discipline and the first-class university, and the first-class university and the system of higher education.
