中国SCI地学期刊的刊文内容与热点对比——基于四种刊物高被引论文的分析

Contents and hotspots of Chinese geographical journals in SCI:A bibliometrics analysis of highly cited articles in four major Chinese geographic journals

基于文献计量与数据挖掘的方法,以Web of Science检索平台中SCI数据库所收录的《Journal of Geographical Sciences》、《Chinese Geographical Science》、《Journal of Mountain Science》和《Journal of Arid Land》四种地学期刊为研究对象,针对四种刊物被SCI收录以来所载文章被引次数高的前50篇论文(共计221篇论文)进行深入剖析,探讨高被引论文的被引频次、学科分布、研究热点等问题,进一步揭示了四种刊物所关注的研究内容与研究热点,解析中国地理科学研究特色和发展态势,对今后期刊办刊的学科栏目特色设计及对地理学科的发展提供参考。

Based on bibliometric analysis and data of Web of Science, this paper selects four major Chinese geographic journals indexed in SCI： Journal of Geographical Sciences, Chinese Geographical Science, Journal of Mountain Science and Journal of Arid Land as research objects. We carried out a bibliometric analysis of the top 50 highly cited articles（a total of 221papers） published in the four major Chinese geographical journals, with regards to cited frequency, subject distribution, research hotspots of highly cited articles. Furthermore, research contents and hotspots of the four journals were compared and explored. The results show that：（1） Physical Geography is hotspot disciplines of the four journals from discipline distribution,and environmental science plays an increasingly important role in recent years.（2） The keywords category statistics distinguished the key fields of the four journals while the keywords statistics revealed key research topics, with high frequency keywords such as climate change, land use, remote sensing, spatial pattern, and urbanization.（3） Rural development,urbanization, and wetland protection are important fields. What＇s more, multidisciplinary comprehensive research is the development trend of Geography. Results can be useful in directing the discipline design and focused direction of the journals, and providing reference for the development of Geography.
