基于社会网络分析的图情领域期刊排名研究

Journal Ranking Research Based on Social Network Analysis in LIS Field

[目的/意义]在新技术环境下,图书情报学领域期刊影响力评价与排名的需求正在发生变化。为了完善学科排名体系,文章基于社会网络分析法提出一种新的排名思路--从知识传播角度考虑期刊排名。[方法/过程]文章以近十年的中文社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)数据库中图书馆、情报与文献学(简称LIS)专业的来源期刊为研究对象,应用社会网络分析的研究方法,运用UCINET软件,对这些期刊的知识传播模式进行分析,在知识传播网络中按不同特性对期刊进行排名,并且探究了LIS期刊在知识传播网络中子群的构成。[结果/结论]LIS各个期刊知识传播的出度与入度差距较大,少数的期刊传播领域内大量知识。按照LIS期刊在知识网络中的不同特性排名与按照影响因子排名有差异,在知识传播网络中也可提取出具有相似的出度入度的LIS期刊的子群,以便对LIS期刊影响力进行更好的研究。

[Purpose/significance]Under the new technology environment,the demand of influence evaluation and ranking of journals in the field of library and information science(LIS)is changing.In order to improve the discipline ranking system,this paper proposes a new way of ranking based on the social network analysis method,which considers the journal ranking from the perspective of knowledge dissemination.[Method/process]Taking LIS journals in CSSCI database of recent ten years as the research object,this paper applies the research method of social network analysis,and uses UCINET software to analyze the knowledge transmission pattern of these journals.This research ranks journals according to different characteristics in the knowledge transmission network,and explores the composition of LIS journals’subgroups.[Result/conclusion]There is a large gap between the outdegree and indegree of each journal in knowledge transmission network,and 20 journals are distributed in the four quadrants of the citation pattern diagram.Journals in LIS have relatively concentrated knowledge dissemination,and a few journals spread a large amount of knowledge in the field of LIS.The ranking of journals according to their different characteristics in the knowledge network is also different from that according to their impact factor.In the knowledge dissemination network,some journals form subgroups due to similar outdegrees and indegree,while others do not.
