新世纪国际人文地理学发展格局与多样性:基于2000—2017年SSCI期刊的文献计量分析

A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL PATTERN AND DISCIPLINARY TENDENCY OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN GEOGRAPHY BASED ON SSCI JOURNALS (2000-2017)

本文以2000—2017年人文地理学的SSCI论文为基础数据,通过文献计量法分析了国际人文地理学的发展格局、地区差异和多样性。结果显示:(1)国际人文地理学存在着高度极化的发展格局,其中英美占据绝对的优势,欧洲国家构成了第二圈层,中国是唯一进入世界人文地理大国的发展中国家。(2)根据不同国家的学科结构,全球人文地理学大国大致可以分成四大阵营——盎格鲁国家、亚太国家、中南欧国家和北欧国家,这些国家的学科分异表现出了很强的地域性和历史传承性。(3)最后,本文发现人文地理学学科的多样性与单位研发投入的SSCI论文之间存在着较为显著的正相关关系,即学科结构越均衡越有利于学科的创新和高水平论文的产出。

The methods of hierarchical cluster analysis and correlation analysis are applied in this paper to characterize the disciplinary structure of different nations in human geography. The finding suggests that, first, there is an extremely uneven distribution of global pattern in international human geography, with Anglo-America as the hegemony in the international human geography, while Europe countries take up the second-tier contributors; and China is the only developing country which is listed in the top 10 nations of human geography. Second, according to the disciplinary structure, the main countries of human geography over the world can be clustered into four major groups, namely, Anglo-countries, Asia-Pacific countries, Central-South European countries, and North European countries. These groups are specialized in different sub-disciplines of human geography. In general, Anglo countries are specialized in social and culture geography, European countries are specialized in economic geography, and Asia-Pacific countries are specialized in environment and sustainable studies. Lastly, the paper finds out that there is a significant correlation between disciplinary diversity and scientific productivitv in terms of SSCI papers per R＆D investment.
