It is often stated that SNA research has experienced rapid growth in China over these years, but few studies have been conducted to prove the statement. This paper aims at exploring the research status and development of SNA in China by a critical assessment of journal articles. Our findings show that SNA is an evolving and diversified research area which has rich themes and topics, and can be applied to those studies on different levels, context and disciplines, and attract researchers and scholars from various fields and domains. In addition, the information community(Library & Information Science and Information Systems) plays a leading role in the SNA related researches. The paper also points out the research on SNA in China has some limitations, so it proposes several implications for the future development of SNA research from perspectives of information science.展开更多
目的识别我国在生物医学工程领域国际合作参与度较高的城市和机构,并发现我国在该领域的国际合作特点。方法在Web of Science数据库中检索生物医学工程主题的论文,使用Excel和Pajek软件对我国城市和机构的国际合作论文发文情况进行描述...目的识别我国在生物医学工程领域国际合作参与度较高的城市和机构,并发现我国在该领域的国际合作特点。方法在Web of Science数据库中检索生物医学工程主题的论文,使用Excel和Pajek软件对我国城市和机构的国际合作论文发文情况进行描述性统计分析和合作网络的变化趋势分析,并采用逼近理想解排序法(Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution,TOPSIS)综合评价城市和机构在合作网络中的重要性。结果共检索获得生物医学工程相关论文45944篇,经描述性统计发现,北京、上海、广州和深圳的国际合作发文量处于全国前列,香港地区、西安和温州的国际合作发文比例较高;通过量化国际合作水平发现,以上城市在国际合作中的积极性、合作网络中的重要性及TOPSIS得分均处于较高水平。从机构层面来看,北京、上海和广东的一些高校国际合作较为积极。结论本研究通过量化生物医学工程领域研究论文的国际合作网络,识别了国内国际合作方面最为积极和重要的城市与机构,了解了目前该学科国际合作下较为热门的研究方向,并为提升我国生物医学工程领域的国际合作程度提出建议。展开更多
