Transformation and influencing factors of scholarly communication based on knowledge transfer: A case study of science and technology literature

Purpose: The process of scientific literature use can be regarded as that of knowledge transfer. With the help of the knowledge transfer theory and data from scientific literature databases, we explored the behavior of scientific researchers during their scholarly communication, and studied the factors that influenced the behavior of researchers under network environment. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the literature databases of CNKI, Elsevier Science Direct and Springer Link, we used the knowledge transfer theory to construct a model for describing the scholarly communication process, which attempts to find out factors that may influence the communication behavior of researchers. With a focus laid on the absorption behavior of researchers during the knowledge acceptance process, we defined the independent variables of the model and proposed hypotheses on the basis of a comprehensive literature study. Afterwards, college students were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey, which was designed to prove our research model and hypotheses.Findings: Our results showed that during the scholarly communication, it is not the professional knowledge, but the ability and willingness for knowledge acceptance, organizations’ importance and internal atmosphere as well as knowledge authority and relevance that have played a positive significant role in the knowledge transfer performance. In addition, our distance indicators showed that knowledge distance and knowledge transfer performance have significant negative correlations. Research limitations: This study is mainly based on a questionnaire survey of college students, which may limit the generalization of our research results. In addition, more resource types need be considered for further studies.Practical implications: Under network environment, scholarly communication performance based on knowledge transfer theory could greatly contribute to the enrichment of the contentof the knowledge transfer theory, and stretch out the range of the field. In addition, our result could help commercial scientific database providers to learn more about the users’ needs, which would not only benefit both scientific communities and content providers, but also promote scholarly communication effectively. Originality/value: Compared with existing researches which mainly emphasized the model construction of scholarly communication, our study focused the knowledge relevance during the scholarly communication and influence factors that impacted on the performance of knowledge acceptance under the network environment, which could provide helpful guides for further studies.

An Advanced Analysis of Cloud Computing Concepts Based on the Computer Science Ontology

Our primary research hypothesis stands on a simple idea:The evolution of top-rated publications on a particular theme depends heavily on the progress and maturity of related topics.And this even when there are no clear relations or some concepts appear to cease to exist and leave place for newer ones starting many years ago.We implemented our model based on Computer Science Ontology(CSO)and analyzed 44 years of publications.Then we derived the most important concepts related to Cloud Computing(CC)from the scientific collection offered by Clarivate Analytics.Our methodology includes data extraction using advanced web crawling techniques,data preparation,statistical data analysis,and graphical representations.We obtained related concepts after aggregating the scores using the Jaccard coefficient and CSO Ontology.Our article reveals the contribution of Cloud Computing topics in research papers in leading scientific journals and the relationships between the field of Cloud Computing and the interdependent subdivisions identified in the broader framework of Computer Science.

PubExplorer:An interactive analytical system for visualizing publication data

With the intersection and convergence of multiple disciplines and technologies,more and more researchers are actively exploring interdisciplinary cooperation outside their main research fields.Facing a new research field,researchers often hope to quickly learn what is being studied in this field,which research points are receiving high attention,which researchers are studying these research points,and then consider the possibility of collaborating with core researchers on these research points.In addition,students who are preparing for academic further education usually conduct research on mentors and mentors’research platforms,including academic connections,employment opportunities,etc.In order to satisfy these requirements,we(1)design a research point state map based on a science map to help researchers and students understand the development state of a new research field;(2)design a bar-link author-affiliation information graph to help researchers and students clarify academic networks of scholars and find suitable collaborators or mentors;(3)designs citation pattern histogram to quickly discover research achievements with high research value,such as the Sleeping Beauty papers,recently hot papers,classic papers and so on.Finally,an interactive analytical system named PubExplorer was implemented with IEEE VIS publication data,and its effectiveness is verified through case studies.

Measuring Similarity of Academic Articles with Semantic Profile and Joint Word Embedding

Long-document semantic measurement has great significance in many applications such as semantic searchs, plagiarism detection, and automatic technical surveys. However, research efforts have mainly focused on the semantic similarity of short texts. Document-level semantic measurement remains an open issue due to problems such as the omission of background knowledge and topic transition. In this paper, we propose a novel semantic matching method for long documents in the academic domain. To accurately represent the general meaning of an academic article, we construct a semantic profile in which key semantic elements such as the research purpose, methodology, and domain are included and enriched. As such, we can obtain the overall semantic similarity of two papers by computing the distance between their profiles. The distances between the concepts of two different semantic profiles are measured by word vectors. To improve the semantic representation quality of word vectors, we propose a joint word-embedding model for incorporating a domain-specific semantic relation constraint into the traditional context constraint. Our experimental results demonstrate that, in the measurement of document semantic similarity, our approach achieves substantial improvement over state-of-the-art methods, and our joint word-embedding model produces significantly better word representations than traditional word-embedding models.

From preference to landscape sustainability:a bibliometric review of landscape preference research from 1968 to 2019

Landscape preference(LP)studies highlight one of the most important issues of human-environment relationship,and their related publications have increased rapidly over the last two decades.However,there is no systematic review with a holistic understanding of this field.here we applied a bibliometric approach to examine the evolution of LP research and identify its status and future prospects.We obtained 7,637 LP research publications from Web of Science core collection from 1968 to 2019 and analyzed the characteristics of publication outputs as well as performances in various countries and institutions.Besides,content keywords analysis was conducted to discover the drivers,focus,motivation,and trends of LP research.We found that 1)publications,subject categories,and active journals increased rapidly since the 2000s;2)the USA,England,and Australia are the leading countries in LP research,while China is starting to have some influence;3)LP research is most closely linked to ecological and environmental studies,being developed by objective drivers,i.e.,interactions with landscape change,and subjective motivations;and 4)LP research is advancing the landscape sustainability science,integrating natural and social science together through ecosystem services.By comprehensively reviewing the evolution and prospect of LP research,we provide insights for further research in this field.

空间正义研究的知识结构、演变过程和新趋势--以CiteSpace分析为基础的科学计量学回顾研究

By applying the computational tool CiteSpace,the paper explored 9,553 documents relevant to spatial justice research from the Web of Science Core Collection and their 384,786 references.With the visualization of the document/author co-citation and co-author/term network and the detection of pivotal nodes,the knowledge structure,evolution process,and emerging trends of spatial justice research have been teased out.The findings revealed that the spatial justice research is mainly supported by geography,environmental science,and urban studies and planning.Having formed 15 document co-citation clusters since 1993,the mainstream of the research directions consists of distributive justice in geography and socio-spatial relationship focusing on specific vulnerable groups.Four stages of the spatial justice research,combined with a comparative view on spatial equality,equity,and justice,depicted how its concept grew up from describing the subtle relationship between space and justice to a specific research topic accompanied by research collaboration network.Learning from environmental justice,spatial justice has been developing its indepth theories and methodologies since the 2000s,but still lacking sufficient connection with each other.Its recent research enjoys the diversity of researching orientation,scale,and object.The continuous improvement of spatial justice assessment has helped to introduce spatial justice towards a new researching domain,while there also has been a tendency of the return of theoretical study in the recent decade.This scientometric review demonstrates a relatively comprehensive measurement of spatial justice research,which establishes the background for future theoretical approaches and provides practical instructions for spatial justice participatory development and social activities.
