臺灣圖書資訊學跨學科交流之分析：以「臺灣人文學引文索引資料庫」為例

Abstract

本研究應用引用文獻分析以探討臺灣近年之圖書資訊學跨學科研究的特性，並探析論文研究主題與跨學科引用之間的差異性及相關性。本研究以「臺灣人文學引文索引資料庫」收錄之1996-2002年圖書資訊學期刊論文為研究對象。 研究結果顯示，圖書資訊學研究者最常與「社會科學」及「工程技術」類的研究者進行合作研究，而研究者進行「圖書資訊技術」和「讀者服務」主題研究時，比較容易尋求其他學科的研究者進行合作研究。至於引用的行為，圖書資訊學研究者最常引用「社會科學」、「工程技術」「和「歷史」類的文獻資料，其中又以論文出版前五至十年之中文圖書為主。跨學科引用指數顯示「行政與管理」這類的研究主題跨學科引用程度是最高的，這顯示該研究主題有相對較高的跨學科交流的現象。但是與過去相關研究結果相比，跨學科引用的程度是有降低的趨勢。

This study applies citation analysis to investigate the disciplinary interflow of Library & Information Science (LIS) in Taiwan and explores the differences and relationships of research topics and citations among other disciplines. The indexed papers in Taiwan Humanities Citation Index (THCI) database from 1996 to 2002 are regarded as analyzed objects. The results show that the researchers of LIS mostly cooperate with those of Social Science and Engineering & Technology. In addition, LIS researchers focusing on “Library Information Technology” and “Read Services” are much eagerer to cooperate with researchers from other disciplines. As to the citation behavior, LIS researchers frequently cite literatures of Social Science, Engineering & Technology, and History. Especially, the major of cited literatures are written in Chinese and published 5 to 10 years earlier than the citing papers. The LIS research topic, “Administration and Management”, has the largest COC (citation outside category) index and WCOC (weighted citation outside category) index. This shows “Administration and Management” has relatively higher degree of disciplinary interflow. However, with comparison to the previous studies, the COC index and WCOC index show the tendency of decrease.
