2000年以来人口学研究国际前沿解读——基于CiteSpace对Web of Science数据库的文献计量

International Frontier Interpretation in Demographic Studies Since 2000:A Bibliometrics Analysis of Papers from Web of Science Using Citespace

为探究国际人口学学科的文献特征与趋势,本文运用科学计量学的前沿研究方法,基于Web of Science数据库(2000—2018年)收录的人口学研究领域的文献数据,应用CiteSpace软件,就被引文献和主题词进行实证分析。结果表明,人口转变、国际移民、低生育率与生育行为是21世纪以来国际人口学最核心的学术研究分支;受教育程度、已婚女性、人口特征、年轻女性、年轻人、生殖健康等主题词是该领域的研究热点,具体来看,“代际问题”、“缓慢衰老”、“结婚与同居”、“生育意图和生育行为”、“移民融合”以及“女性雇佣和生育”等主题是近年来国际人口学界研究的前沿方向。

To explore the literature characteristics and trends of international demography,this paper uses the frontier research method of science metrology to analyze the cited references and subject words,which is based on empirically analyses terms and highly cited literature of papers in Web of Science database(2000-2018)and applies CiteSpace software.The results show that the demographic transition,international migration,low fertility rate and fertility behavior are the core research branches of international demography since world has entered into a new century,meanwhile education,married women,demographic characteristics,young women,young people and reproductive health are hot topics in this field.Specifically,the topics of“intergenerational issues”,“slow aging”,“marriage and cohabitation”,“reproductive intention and reproductive behavior”,“immigrant integration”and“female employment and reproduction”are the forefront issues of international demographic research in recent years.
