Abstract

Gender differences in research topic choice and methodology among collaborating scholars were explored. Previous studies have focused on gender differences in research topics or methods at the individual level of scholars, without considering collaborating groups. Employing the Top2Vec method for topic identification and the CogFT model for research method classification, collaborative scholarship in library and information science was studied. A total of 25,204 papers published between 1990 and 2022 were systematically analyzed to investigate gender differences in the convergence of research topics and method choices among collaborating scholars in this field. Results of the study found that female scholars showed lower convergence in their research methods and topic choices compared to male scholars. Findings may serve as a reference for other disciplines and research questions.

图书馆情报学合作学者研究课题与方法趋同的性别差异

探讨合作学者在研究课题选择和研究方法上的性别差异。以往的研究主要集中在学者个人层面的研究主题或方法上的性别差异，而没有考虑合作群体。采用Top2Vec方法进行主题识别，采用CogFT模型进行研究方法分类，对图书馆情报学协同学术进行了研究。系统分析1990年至2022年间发表的25204篇论文，探讨该领域合作学者在研究主题趋同和方法选择上的性别差异。研究结果发现，与男性学者相比，女性学者在研究方法和选题上的趋同程度较低。研究结果可作为其他学科和研究问题的参考。
