谈我国档案学研究方法的特点与不足

Talking about the Characteristics and Shortcomings of Archival Research Methods in China

档案学的研究方法具有突出的多样性与全面性,超乎寻常的难度,高度的专业性,强调与社会实践相结合,具有国际性和学科之间的借鉴性。目前,中国档案学研究方法的不足之处还有很多,如定性研究、价值判断过多,实证研究较为缺乏;方法在前、概念炒作的现象很多,"方法主义"倾向严重;从经验总结式的认识方法到科学认识方法的过渡过程尚未彻底完成,过渡过程本身的自觉性不够;本位主义思维方式盛行;科学精神、科学研究方法的教育与培训严重不足,以及因理论水平和研究方法上的种种缺陷导致学术自信上的欠缺。从总体上看,档案学研究方法正从不成熟走向成熟。

The research methods of archival science have outstanding diversity and comprehensiveness, extraordinary difficulty and highly professionalism. They emphasize the combination with social practice, and also have international and interdisciplinary reference. At present, there are still many inadequacies in archival research methods in China. There are too many qualitative research and value judgments, and there is a lack of empirical research. There are many phenomena of the methods in the former and concept hype, and the "methodism" tends to be serious. The transition process from the cognitive method of experience summary form to the scientific cognitive method has not been completely completed, and the self - consciousness of the transition process itself is not enough;the mode of thinking of the selfish departmentalism is prevalent;the education and training of the scientific spirit and scientific research methods are seriously inadequate.And various defects in theoretical levels and research methods lead to a lack of academic confidence. In general, archival research methods are moving from immature to mature.
