学术期刊三种分析方法的网络特征比较——以图书情报学核心期刊为例

Comparative study on the network characteristics of three kinds of analysis approaches about academic journals: taking the core journals of library and information science as an example

【目的】探析共被引分析、耦合分析、内容分析在学术期刊分析中的相关性、相似性和差异性,一方面为期刊研究提供方法依据,另一方面有助于拓展期刊研究的视角。【方法】以17种图书情报学核心期刊为例,利用二次指派程序分析法(Quadratic Assignment Procedure,即QAP法)和社会网络分析法(Social network analysis,即SNA法),在Ucinet6.0环境下对三种期刊分析方法进行了相关性分析、网络密度分析、块模型分析和核心-边缘结构分析。【结果】结果显示,三种分析方法在学术期刊分析中有相似之处也存在差异。其中,内容分析与共被引分析的相似度较高、与耦合分析的相似度较低。【结论】内容分析法可作为共被引分析、耦合分析的辅助分析方法,以实现优势互补,提高学术期刊分析的完整性和有效性。

[ Purposes] The analysis of correlation, similarity and difference about co-citation analysis, coupling analysis, content analysis in academic journal analysis is to provide the method basis for the journal research, and to broaden the perspective of the research. IMethods] This paper used all the papers from 2009 to 2014 in 17 kinds of CSSCI journals of library and information science in China as examples. Through QAP and SNA, we analyzed the correlation, network density, block model and core edge structure in Ucinet6.0. [ Findings ] This research shows that the three kinds of journal analysis methods have similarities; at the same time, they have differences. The similarity of content analysis and co-citation analysis is higher, and the similarity of content analysis and coupling analysis is lower. [ Conclusions] Results from the case study suggest that the content analysis can be used as an auxiliary analysis method for co-citation analysis and coupling analysis, which is an effective complement for them to improve the integrity and effectiveness of journal analysis.
