中国教育学学科离世界一流还有多远——基于1998～2016年SSCI教育学学科被引数的比较研究

How Far Is the Distance of Chinese Education Subject to the World-Class Level?—— Comparative Analysis of the Citations of SSCI during 1998-2016

打造一流教育学学科是创建世界一流学科的重要组成部分。研究比较了中外15所大学SSCI教育学学科的篇数、篇均被引以及论文所发期刊影响因子均值的差异及趋势。结果发现:中国大学在教育学论文发表期刊影响因子均值上已经达到甚至超过了少数世界一流大学教育学科,但在篇均被引上与国外大学的差距仍较大,在总篇数上的差距更大且这种差距在加剧。

The world--class education subject is an important part of constructing the Chinese world-class disciplines. The study explores and compares the differences and trends of Chinese and foreign universities in three aspects including the number of published articles, citations and the impact factors of journals based on the citations of SSCI articles in education, education research and special education subject from the SSCI database during 1998 to 2016. The results show that Chinese universities have reached or even surpassed the world＇s leading universities in terms of influencing factors of the journal, however, there is a big gap in average number of citations per paper and a very huge gap in total published articles between Chinese and foreign universities. Moreover, this gap in total articles is still widening.
