教育學術期刊論文引文格式之研究

Abstract

美國教育領域是以APA格式做為學術寫作之圭臬，且國內教育領域亦依循APA格式做為學術論文寫作原則。然而，國內學者係以不同方式翻譯APA格式，使國內教育學術論文引文格式呈現不一致之現象。為綜整國內教育學術期刊論文之引文格式，本研究係以內容分析法比較分析2011年臺灣社會科學引文索引資料庫收錄之教育學門核心期刊之撰稿格式，歸納其異同處，並統整多數期刊採用之格式；再以各期刊之撰稿格式規範與各期刊自2009年至2011年各期刊載首篇學術文章之參考文獻進行比對，歸納撰稿格式規範與刊載文章參考文獻引文格式之異同，並比較撰稿格式規範之資料類型與實際使用之情形。研究結果發現，各教育學術核心期刊之撰稿格式規範不一致，且各期刊抽樣文章之參考文獻引文格式大致與撰稿格式相符，但撰稿格式規範之資料類型不及作者引用之資料類型種類。抽樣文章中，少數參考文獻之書目資訊不完整，並以期刊論文、圖書與學位論文資料類型之引用比例最高。最後，根據研究結果提出引文格式中各項資訊單元之著錄格式與各資料類型之引文格式建議。

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association was not only a guide for professional writing for psychologists, but consulted by researchers in education discipline in America. In Taiwan, researchers in education discipline also followed APA style in academic writing. However, Chinese researchers interpreted and translated the APA manual in different ways. In consequence, there were several different styles of Chinese APA and was lacking of a standard manual. The method of content analysis was used to examine the format of reference list from the core educational journal articles collected in Taiwan Social Science Citation Index (TSSCI) in 2011 in order to conclude the citation style which was widely accepted by most journals. The manuscript submission guidelines and the references of the first academic article of each journal published from 2009 to 2011 were all examined for clarifying the citation format in practice. The findings indicated that the formats of reference list among different educational academic core journals were inconsistent. The citation style of samples collected from each journal was roughly accordant to reference format of that journal. Nevertheless, types of works that guided by reference format were not as many as which of cited. Among all sampled references, few of them were without complete bibliographic information, and the most cited types of works were periodicals, books, reference books, books chapters, and doctoral dissertations and master’s theses. Finally, there are suggestions for the citation style of each reference components and various types of works according to the research findings.
