中国新闻传播学研究的知识谱系：议题、方法与理论(1998—2017)

Knowledge Structure of Chinese Journalism and Communication Studies: Issues, Methods and Theories(1998-2017)

1998年,新闻学由:级学科上升为一级学科新闻传播学。本研究试图探究近20年来中国新闻传播学研究总体状况,尤其是研究方法和理论的使用情况以及地区之间的差异。通过使用文本挖掘(n=40398)和内容分析(n=3000)相结合的方法,对9种新闻传播学学术期刊在年间刊载的论文进行研究后发现,论文数量先升后降,议题分为新闻传播类和编辑出版类;值得注意的是,90%以上的论文没有研究方法,90%以上的论文不包含理论:此外,东中西部三个地区的论文在研究方法、理论使用上并没有显著差异,但是在数量上存在明显的不均衡,并且在研究议题上形成各自的研究特色。

In 1998,Journalism rose from a secondary discipline to a first-level discipline:Journalism and Communication.This study attempts to explore the overall situation of Chinese Journalism and Communication studies in the past 20 years,especially the use of research methods and theories as well as the differences among regions.Through the combination of text mining(n=40398)and content analysis(n=3000),this paper explores the papers published in 9 academic journals of Journalism and Communication from 1998 to 2017.The study found that the number of papers rose first and then fell,and the topics were divided into journalism and communication along with editing and publishing.It is worth noting that more than 90% of the papers have no research methods,and more than 90% of the papers do not contain theories.In addition,there is no significant differenee in the research methods and theories used in the three regions of China,but there is an obvious imbalanee in the number of papers,and the research topics form their own research characteristics.
