基于文献计量分析比较中国与澳大利亚外来生物入侵的研究

A bibliometric analysis of research on biological invasions of China and Australia

随着我国与澳大利亚之间国际贸易关系日趋紧密,生物入侵已成为与两国经济发展、生态安全、国际贸易、政治利益等紧密相关的重大科学问题。本文基于2002-2016年Web of Science的引文数据,以生物入侵、入侵生态学、入侵生物学、入侵物种、外来或者非本地物种等为特定关键词,采用Histcite统计软件对我国与澳大利亚在生物入侵领域的发文量、期刊分布、国际影响力、研究热点以及引文关系进行了文献计量分析、比较。结果表明,我国与澳大利亚在外来生物入侵领域的研究总发文量分别为1673与3427篇,澳大利亚发文量明显较高,且总被引用数、篇均被引次数以及高被引文献数均明显高于我国;对科研机构分析发现我国中国科学院、复旦大学仍然具有很强的国际竞争力。另外,从两国的核心期刊分布、研究热点以及引文关系看出,两国在生物入侵研究方面的相似性以及国情特色。本研究结果较为客观地反映了我国与澳大利亚在生物入侵研究领域的科学能力和影响力,为准确掌握两国该领域研究发展状况和前沿动态、明确科学研究发展方向、制定管理策略等提供了依据。

Along with the trade relations between China and Australia being closer, biological invasions has become a major scientific issue which is closely related to the economic development, ecological safety, international trade and political interests between both countries. Based on the literatures indexed by the Web of Science during 2002 - 2016, we separately analysised the number of papers, journal distribution, citations, research focus and citation map of China and Australia at the field of biological invasions using Histcite software. The results showed that the number of papers published by China and Australia were 1673 and 3427 during 2002 - 2016, respectively. The paper quantity of Australia was obvious larger than that of our country, as well as the international influence of papers published by Australia were higher than that of our country. However, by comparing the research institutions between both countries, we found Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University still had very strong competitiveness. In addition, there were both similarity and specific national features in research of biological invasions of China and Australia showing with journal distribution, research focus and citation map. Our findings offered valuable insights into grasping the trend in biological invasion research and reflecting the scientific advances and influences of both countries.
