Ucinet在国内图书情报学领域应用现状分析

Analysis of Ucinet's Application Status in Library and Information Science in China

[目的/意义]Ucinet是利用社会网络分析方法进行科学研究过程中常用的工具之一。文章通过论文全文内容分析,挖掘Ucinet的常用功能在图书情报学论文中的应用情况。[方法/过程]文章首先通过Ucinet的菜单和相关图书内容梳理其常用功能。然后以CNKI为数据源,收集“图书情报与数字图书馆”领域利用Ucinet工具的449篇相关论文的全文,使用文献计量、内容分析和社会网络分析3种研究方法,对Ucinet的功能和研究主题之间的关联进行较为深入的分析。[结果/结论]研究发现,Ucinet工具应用相关的论文数量经过一个较长时间段的增长后,目前有所下降;Ucinet主要应用在研究态势、研究热点与前沿、合作关系、研究主题分布、社交媒体、研究群体6个研究主题;Ucinet使用过程中存在着集中与分散的现象;Ucinet工具在NetDraw、中心度、网络密度、小世界网络、凝聚子群分析和结构洞6个方面的功能应用较多。

[Purpose/significance]Ucinet is one of the commonly used tools in the process of scientific research using social network analysis methods.This article analyzes the content of the full text of the paper and explores the application of Ucinet's common functions in library and information science papers.[Method/process]This article first sorts out its common functions through Ucinet's menu and related book content.Then this paper uses CNKI as the data source to collect the full text of 449 papers using Ucinet in the field of"library information and digital library",and uses three research methods:bibliometrics,content analysis and social network analysis to analyze the functions and research topics of Ucinet.The relationship between the two has been analyzed in depth.[Result/conclusion]This study found that the number of papers using Ucinet has decreased after a relatively long period of time.Ucinet is mainly used in six research topics:research trends,research hotspots and frontiers,partnerships,research topic distribution,social media,and research groups.There is a phenomenon of concentration and decentralization in the use of Ucinet.Among them,NetDraw,centrality,network density,small-world network,cohesive subgroup analysis and structural holes are widely used in 6 areas.
