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.     

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.

Authorship,Collaboration, and Gender: Fifteen Years of Publication Productivity in Selected Geography Journals

In academia, publication productivity, defined as the number of peer-reviewed articles published and the frequency of citations, is a primary factor in the assessment of tenure and promotion. One of the most cited gender differences in academia is the “productivity puzzle,” which suggests that women publish less than men, thereby affecting every aspect of a woman's academic career. Peer-reviewed articles published in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers (Annals) and The Professional Geographer (PG) between 1995 and 2006, and in four subdisciplinary journals between 2005 and 2009, as well as citation reports, were used to explore whether gender differences are present in publication productivity. Gender differences were evident in the proportion of women authors, the frequency of collaboration, and the number of citations across a broad range of prestigious geographic journals. For all journals studied, women were underrepresented, especially in the authorship positions that equate to notions of respect and merit. Although the number of collaborative articles increased during the study period, single-authored papers are the dominant mode of publication for both men and women for most geographic journals. The authorship patterns for frequently cited articles generally mirror those for all articles. Because the frequency of collaborative publication was high for women, the dual trends of a general increase in publication collaboration and increasing participation of women in academic geography bodes well for increased female productivity as it relates to publishing. Nevertheless, it is important to note that, currently, males as lead or single authors represent the predominant voice of geography within the journals examined in this study.

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.

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.

The Biogeography of Geographers: A Content Visualization of Journal Publications

Biogeographers choose to align their scholarship within different domains, from ecological or historical biogeography, to landscape ecology, macroecology, or the analytical perspective initiated with the theory of island biogeography. Biogeography is also practiced under the umbrella of geography, as geographical biogeography. Using the ISI Web of Science journal article database, I performed content visualizations of research authored by those biogeographers with an identity or interest aligned with geography. Content affinities with ecological biogeography were strong. However, physical geography materialized as the core of biogeographical inquiry for geographers based upon the central location of physical geography within these visualizations, and upon the ranking of journals where these geographers publish. I argue that the systems legacy of physical geography provides geographical biogeographers with an identity and an invitation to connect with the field of scholars advancing the study of complex systems.

21世纪中国人文地理学研究的国际影响定量分析与挑战

本文从当代人文地理学的跨学科特点出发,以2000年以来美国科学情报机构156个SSCI人文地理学期刊的10万余篇论文为基础数据,通过文献计量法从期刊的分类、发文总量、高引用率、世界一流学术机构和明星学者的分布、热门期刊和关键词等方面深入分析当前中国人文地理学在国际学术界的地位、发展趋势以及面临的问题和挑战。结果显示：①21世纪以来,中国人文地理学在国际学术界的迅速崛起已经成为不容争议的事实,中国人文地理学者在国际SSCI期刊的发文总量、高引用率、世界一流机构和明星学者等方面都处于领先地位(世界排名第6)。②当前,中西方人文地理的学科发展存在较大差异,中国人文地理学有着很强的“发展主义”和“实证主义”属性,发文期刊多以规划与发展、遥感、景观等领域为主;而西方人文地理学的社会学偏向非常明显,社会公平、制度和文化嵌入性是西方学者关注的重点领域,在经济地理、文化地理、政治地理等主流期刊中占主导地位。③最后,文章呼吁中国人文地理学应加强在创新研究、社会网络、区域治理、社会正义等方面的理论创新以及与西方理论学派的对话。     

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.     

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

以中国的《地理学报》中、英文版和美国的AAAG (Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 美国地理学家协会会刊)、英国的TIBG (Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers,英国皇家地理学会会刊) 作为中西方主流地理期刊的代表案例,以各刊网站的资料和文献作为数据源,对比各刊的办刊背景、发展历史,重点从办刊宗旨、报道内容、国际化程度、办刊特色、用稿要求等几个方面来对比分析中西方主流地理期刊的办刊实践,结果显示：1) 办刊宗旨上,AAAG和TIBG将重点落实在学科建设服务上,明确宣称其国际权威的高端定位,强调刊文对学科知识性的贡献,即对创新性有特别具体和明确的要求;《地理学报》中、英文版除了服务于学科建设外,明确提出为国民经济建设服务的宗旨。2) 学科内容上,AAAG创刊前20年偏重自然地理,之后人文地理刊文一直处于优势地位;环境科学和方法研究近年来受到重视,基础研究不断深入;《地理学报》自然和人文地理的刊文总体上趋于合理和平衡,其英文版偏重自然地理学、自然与人文相结合的综合性研究。3) 国际化程度方面,被研究期刊的作者群均以本国作者为主,国际作者群体以来自美国、英国、加拿大等国家的作者占优势,其中,AAAG作者的国际化程度最高。4) 办刊特色方面,《地理学报》中、英文版注重实证研究类刊文;AAAG主要体现在其专刊 (special issue) 及主席演讲等方面,TIBG主要体现在虚拟期刊 (virtual issue) 及对刊文质量的贡献要求等方面。     

Research impact within the international arid literature: An Australian perspective based on network theory

While research-article impact is routinely judged by citation counts, there is recognition that a much broader view is needed to better judge the true value of citations. This paper applies a developing framework based on the application of network theory, where the network consists of journal articles on arid-systems research which are listed on ISI Web-of-Science. Keywords were used to identify articles related to arid-systems research. Linkages between articles were defined by citations, and we bound our analysis by focusing on how the Australian subsample contributes to the international arid-systems literature. The analysis showed that impact based on how articles contribute structurally to the flow of knowledge within the literature offers an alternative metric to citation counts. The analysis also presented a partitioned view of the Australian arid literature. This showed that there exists some citation-based structure within the literature, and we showed this structure better describes the literature than a partition based on which journal articles are published in.     

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。
