旅游研究中的学术动态剖析——基于Annals of Tourism Research的可视化图谱样本分析

Academic Trends in Tourism Studies: An Analysis based on Annals of Tourism Research

本文以2002—2017年间收录在Web of Science数据库中来自Annals of Tourism Research中的1 657篇旅游学术文献为样本,借助Citespace可视化知识图谱分析软件进行分析,研究发现英国、美国等发达国家对旅游研究前沿的探索位居前列,亚洲地区的发展中国家越来越多地参与到旅游研究中。旅游研究类型更加多样化,研究对象更加丰富,从传统的教条式研究逐渐转向批判反思性的视角,从庞大的"宏观叙事"研究不断转向"微观日常生活实践"视角,从宏观的现象描述逐渐转向对旅游个体的深层解析,呈现出显著的跨学科和交叉学科特征,为旅游学科体系完善和创新提供了契机。

Based on 1 657 papers collected from Annals＇ of Tourism Research from 2002 to 2017 in Web of Science, this paper applies software named Citespace to analyze academic trends in tourism studies. Results show the main research topics and trends in terms of major research institutions, prominent authors, key words, citation frequency and academic contributions of scholars in China's Mainland. Findings show that research institutions in developed countries such as Britain, the United States and the United States ranking among the forefront in tourism studies. However, institutions and scholars from developing countries have been increasingly involved in tourism research. Medical tourism, social tourism, volunteer tourism and other new types of tourism have attracted scholar＇s attention. Research topics become much more diversified, and body, emotion, wellbeing, even pets carried during travelling gradually become the focus of tourism research, which indicates that tourism research tends to focus more on an emotional and micro perspective. Researchers tend to apply multiple perspectives to analyze tourism phenomena, which gives more inspiration and insights for future researchers. Based on this, Chinese researchers are likely to conduct more dialogues with western scholars in order to establish a theoretical framework in tourism studies.
