在学科发展转型期看情报学核心竞争力建设

Construction of Core Competence of Information Science in the Transformation Period of Discipline Development

我国情报学发展历程中有过不少学术争议,反映了学科建设面临着学科定位不清、核心理论薄弱、研究内容泛化等问题。大数据+人工智能打破了学科界限,促进交叉融合,驱动科研范式变革,倒逼情报学研究与情报工作必须拥抱新格局,认真审视并系统总结学科核心竞争力。从历史视角梳理情报学学科起源、计量学发展、学科领域版图演化等学科发展历程,挖掘现象背后学科在学科任务、研究对象、研究内容等方面的“守正”,并在分析大数据驱动和技术使能的基础上,分析学科面向新环境、新形势时在研究范式上的“创新”,对情报学学科发展展开再思考。情报学的核心竞争力在于提出情报核心问题的行业本能,以提高情报获取效率为己任的职业守正,拥抱需求变迁跨界交叉融合的开阔胸襟。情报学人要继续夯实情报思想与理论,开拓情报研究思路与方法,培养跨界融合能力。

There have been many academic disputes in the development of Information Science in China,reflecting the problems faced by discipline construction,such as the discipline orientation being unclear,core theories being weak,and research contents being extensive.Big data and AI together break discipline boundaries,promote cross integration,and drive changes to the scientific research paradigm,forcing information research and work to embrace the new pattern;they carefully examine and systematically summarize the core competitiveness of the discipline.From a historical perspective,we organized the key issues in the development of information science,such as the origin of discipline,development of X-metrics,and evolution of discipline territory,and explored the“inheritance”of disciplines behind phenomena in terms of discipline tasks,research objects,research content,etc.We also analyzed the“innovation”in the research paradigm of the discipline when facing a new environment and new situation by analyzing big data-driven and technological enablement.Thus,we rethought the construction of informatics discipline.The core competence of information science lies in the industry instinct of putting forward core information issues,the professional integrity of improving the efficiency of information acquisition as its own responsibility,and an open mind in embracing cross-border cross-integration of demand changes.Informationists should continue to consolidate information ideas and theories, expand information research thoughts and methods, and cultivate cross-border integration capabilities.
