我国灵长类学研究文献计量分析

A Bibliometric Analysis of Primatology in China

本文借鉴文献计量学的方法，利用我国灵长类学文献的各种特征，定量地描绘我国灵长类学研究结构，反映我国灵长类学研究状况．结果表明，动物学研究等8种期刊是我国灵长类学研究的核心期刊．我国灵长类学研究分为：起步、停滞、恢复与发展及持续发展4个阶段，持续发展阶段集中了总文献量的89％，是我国灵长类学研究发展的重要阶段．对我国17种灵长类动物（包括所有特有种）作过研究，其中对Macacamulatta的研究最多；研究学科以生理学、形态与解剖学、生态与行为学、饲养学为主（占总文献量的82％）；猕猴属Macaca在各学科研究中都占重要地位．目前我国灵长类学研究在学科及物种方面都不平衡，有必要增加对较薄弱的学科、灵长类种类研究的投入，使它们能共同发展．

This paper presented the developmental status of primatological study in China,by the method of literature metrology, utilizing kinds of Characteristics of the primatological literature in Chinese. The result showed that the core journals of primalogy are Zoological Research, Acta Theriologica Sinic, Acta Anthropologica Sinic, Chinese Wildlife, Chinese Journals of Zoology, Shangshai Laboratory Animal Science, Acta Anatomica Sinica and Acta Zoologica Sinica among the 32 journals to be checked. The development of primatology can be divided into four stages: commencement, suspension, recovery and Growth. The most important stage in the development of primatology in China is the fourth stage. Up to now,there have been 17 species of living primates in China to be studied (including endemic species). Among them, the Volume of study for Macaca mulatta, however, has far more than the rest. The major branches of primatology are physiology, anatomy and morphology,ecology and behavior and breeding (constituting 82% of the total literature volume);M. mulatta has played an important role in the research of each branch of primatology. The result also showed that the power of branchs and species of primatology are unbalance and it is necessary to increase the power of weak branchs and species, so as to make them possible to keep pace with other branches of primatology.
