中国地理研究特点与态势——基于“四地”刊物高被引论文的分析

本文基于文献计量与数据挖掘的原理与方法,以《地理学报》《地理研究》《地理科学》《地理科学进展》(以下简称“四地”或四刊)创刊以来发表的学术论文为基础数据,选取各刊被引量前500位的论文,从时间特征、位次特征、关键词、作者、研究机构、所属地区等角度进行统计分析,旨在揭示中国地理研究的特点与态势。结果表明：①四刊论文贡献量的时间分布存在差异,但高被引论文年代区间集聚特征明显;②高被引论文同位次被引量变化曲线是比较期刊影响力的一种较好方法,四刊曲线均呈现负幂函数曲线衰减态势;③四刊论文作者个数及关键词个数变化整体上较为同步,论文数量随着作者数的增加而呈现“倒勺”变化,关键词个数总体上呈现“趋多避少”的态势;④关键词大类统计反映了四刊的关注重点与差异,核心词根统计揭示了研究焦点与学术支点,空间、城市、土地、变化、生态、中国、区域、旅游、环境、发展等词根出现频次最高;⑤入围量排名靠前的作者大多从事人文经济地理研究,一批领军人物和活跃研究者贡献突出且优势明显;⑥《地理学报》、中国科学院地理科学与资源研究所、北京在各自层面首位度明显。最后,从研究时效及结果解释力、中外研究数据统筹、学术贡献综合评价指标体系构建、研究团队评价及中国地理研究均衡化、本土化与国际化等方面指出了未来的努力方向。     

A scientometric analysis of selected GIScience journals

A set of 12,436 papers published in 20 GIScience journals in the period 2000–2014 were analysed to extract publication patterns and trends. This comprehensive scientometric study focuses on multiple aspects: output volume, citations, national output and efficiency (output adjusted with econometric indicators), collaboration, altmetrics (Altmetric score, Twitter mentions, and Mendeley bookmarking), authorship, and length. Examples of notable observations are that 5% countries account for 76% of global GIScience output; a paper published 15 years ago received a median of 12 citations; and the share of international collaborations in GIScience has more than tripled since 2000 (31% papers had authors from multiple countries in 2014, an increase from 10% in 2000).     

How Does Castells's The Rise of the Network Society Contribute to Research in Human Geography? A Citation Content and Context Analysis

Manuel Castells seminal work The Rise of the Network Society (RNS) is one of the top ten most frequently cited publications in human geography. RNS comprehensively investigates the theory of network society, which is of great significance to human geography. Citation count, however, cannot reflect the specific contribution of RNS to human geography. By jointly using citation content and context analysis on 898 journal articles on human geography, this study examines the citations of RNS to clarify the contribution. Results show that (1) “space of flows” is most frequently cited and (2) citations of RNS serve nine citation functions in human geography studies. Eight of them reveal three types of knowledge development contribution, namely, knowledge dissemination, knowledge inheritance, and knowledge innovation. Among the nine citation functions, the critique function is most thought-provoking, revealing the deficiencies of RNS: (1) spatial dualism is abstract and impersonal, (2) “space of places” is as important as “space of flows” in the network society, and (3) the lack of abundant data limits the development of empirical research on the space of flows and network of city. These critical citations provide implications for the development of network society theory in human geography. Key Words: bibliometric analysis, citation context analysis, content analysis, knowledge development, network society.     

卡斯特“网络社会理论”对于人文地理学的知识贡献

以引用曼纽尔·卡斯特《网络社会的崛起》的898篇英文文献和363篇中文文献为数据基础，综合运用引文内容分析和引文情境分析方法，基于中外引文的分析与对比，研究了“网络社会理论”对于人文地理学的知识贡献。研究发现：“流动空间”是国内外文献引用最多的理论观点，且国内研究的引用比例明显高于国外研究；国内外研究对于“网络社会理论”的关注点存在差异，国内研究主要聚焦于网络社会的外在空间形态及其的转型，而国外研究则更加关注网络社会的内在空间动力；引文内容承担着9种引用功能以及3类知识贡献，体现了“网络社会理论”对于人文地理学不同程度的影响。其中，批判性引用揭示了“网络社会理论”的不足之处，指出了“空间二元论”的抽象性、地方空间的重要性以及研究数据、方法和时代背景的局限性，为未来“网络社会理论”在人文地理学领域的应用与创新提供了新的启示。     

中国地学类SCIE收录期刊的学术影响力分析

依据美国科技信息所 (ISI) 公布的2009-2013年连续5年JCR数据,选择17种中国地学及相关学科英文版期刊作为研究对象,对其影响因子、五年影响因子、总被引频次、源论文数、自引率等指标进行了五年的统计分析,同时利用web of science检索平台分析了各期刊的篇均被引频次、单篇被引最高频次、国际论文比情况。分析表明,五年间SCIE收录的地学类期刊的学术影响力有所增大,各刊的影响因子总体上呈逐年上升的趋势。但从国际论文比来看,大多期刊国际稿源量少,国际化水平较低;而且中国地学类期刊虽然研究范围较广,但影响因子、被引频次、篇均被引频次均不高。因此,需要着眼于刊文的高质量和知识创新,进一步提高期刊的学术质量;实现从稿源、编辑加工、出版和发行等方面与国际接轨。     

Academic Performance Indicators for Departments of Geography in the United States and Canada

A common problem faced by geography departments, particularly during times of fiscal compression and mounting pressure for accountability, is how to compare themselves and their faculty with others. The recent revolution in bibliometrics provides a growing volume of data that can be used in benchmarking exercises. In this article, we assess the production and citation of journal articles and books by tenure-track and tenured faculty in selected U.S. and Canadian geography departments (n = 17) according to a set of readily derived and transparent performance indicators derived from publicly available data. Scopus was used to assess article production and citation; Google Scholar was used for book citation. Results point to significant heterogeneity in department characteristics, productivity, and citation of published work. The number of publications, citations, and h-Index scores among scholars in the sample (n = 369) is related strongly to academic age and subfield of enquiry (i.e., physical or human geography) but not—despite apparently marked differences in output and citations—to gender.     

Hydrological Research and the Status of Physical Geography Journals: Increasing the Impact of Physical Geography in the Academy

Physical geographers are often confronted with the decision of whether to publish in geography or nongeography journals. The present study seeks to quantify the number of articles with a significant hydrology content published in geography versus hydrology journals by physical geographers from 1997 to 2002 using the ISI Web of Knowledge electronic database. Of 690 articles published in the 10 selected geography and hydrology journals during the period of study, over four‐fifths were published in hydrology journals. Based on our interpretation of the data, the comparatively smaller audience in geography and the risk of acquiring fewer citations compels physical geographers to publish in hydrology journals for increased visibility. A critical mass of physical geographers should consider publishing some of their work in physical geography journals to elevate the status of geography in the academy.     

Productivity Profiles of PhD-Granting Geography Departments in the Unites States: 1980–1994

In our study, 48 U.S. departments that grant geography PhDs are compared along four measures of academic productivity. Using 1980–1994 as the base period, research productivity of faculty was assessed by counting book titles, as well as authorships in 77 journals. Teaching productivity was determined by placement of PhDs in graduate programs of geography in North America, and by a weighted index of teaching outcomes. Data were summed for departments, but are reported primarily as productivity per person (per FTE count). The results point to a wide variety of departmental profiles, from those departments that appear to emphasize teaching outcomes to those that are more productive in book publishing and journal authorship, with several exhibiting a balance between teaching and research.     

Trends in Publication Outlets of Geographer‐Climatologists

A proportional shift in where geographer‐climatologists publish has occurred in recent decades. More than 1,500 journal articles published by members of the Association of American Geographers' Climate Specialty Group (CSG) in the period 1989–2005 were examined to determine where geographer‐climatologists are publishing. The analysis showed that members of the CSG cumulatively published at least ten articles in thirty‐seven different journals. No single journal accounted for more than 7 percent of the articles published. Although the absolute number of articles has remained relatively static, geographer‐climatologists published 21 percent of their articles in geography journals in 1989–1997, but only 11 percent in 1998–2005. These publication trends are likely to continue and may influence the status and prestige of geography journals and the discipline of geography.

Assessing Collaborative Conservation: A Case Survey of Output,Outcome, and Impact Measures Used in the Empirical Literature

Abstract

Much existing research on collaborative conservation has focused on process, even as researchers have called for greater attention to explaining what results these processes yield. It is time to take stock of collaborative conservation research by mapping what kinds of variables researchers are including in analyses. Here we conduct a case survey from the SCAPE database of environmental decision-making cases. We include cases involving collaboration across government, environmental protection, and resource exploitation interests in western democratic countries. Results reveal patterns in what researchers include in their outputs, outcomes, and impacts measures of collaborative conservation. While there is little difference by publication type (peer-reviewed journals, scholarly book chapters, or gray literature) or over time, we find significant differences in explicit measures across variable types. In particular, variables more proximate to process in a logic chain are more often measured, as are social rather than ecological variables.     

中西方主流地理期刊发展对比——基于《地理学报》、JGS、AAAG、TIBG的办刊实践

The 50th anniversary of the appearance of V. B. Sochava’s first article on the geosystem

In 2013, we celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the publication of V. B. Sochava’s first paper in which he offered the definition of the term “geosystem”. His paper entitled “The definition of some notions and terms in physical geography” remains one of the most frequently cited articles in the national geographical literature. The concept of the geosystem was included in encyclopedias. The geosystem ideology is used in training of specialists in the field of geography.     

NETWORKS OF RELATIONS AMONG A SET OF GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNALS*

The network of interrelationships among a set of 22 geographic journals is investigated, using data on the frequency with which articles published in one journal cite papers published In another. The analysis considers journals published in 1970–1972 and 1980–1982. Journals with a focus on regional science weaken their connection to others in the set. The Annals retains its position at the core of the journal space that is identified using multidimensional scaling; Environment and Planning A invades the niche vacated by the regional science journals.
