Abstract

PurposeThe research in this paper aims to investigate the development of Library and Information Science in Chinese universities. Specifically, it focuses on understanding the spatial and temporal aspects of subject knowledge output and providing a more comprehensive explanation of the imbalance in subject research.Design/methodology/approachThis study applies the bibliometric method to analyze 131,112 papers published by 51 universities in mainland China from 1977 to 2021, as recorded in the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI). The study classifies the evolution trends of the discipline and quantifies the published article data of the universities using the index of published articles. Additionally, it examines the development status, structural situation, influencing factors and prospects of universities in different categories and regions.FindingsThe field of Library and Information Science is gaining momentum in Chinese universities, but there are significant differences in its development. While the relative gap among universities in a regional context is diminishing, the absolute gap in the category perspective is increasing. The development of Library and Information Science is influenced by various factors, including the academic environment, geographical position, scientific research projects and academic traditions. The uneven development of the discipline is maintained in the short term.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a new quantitative index of discipline development, the university publication index. This index allows for an examination of the temporal and spatial trends of discipline development using domestic universities as the subject of research. The paper presents an overview of discipline development through four aspects: academic participation practice, discipline governance mechanisms, education and teaching systems and discourse construction within the discipline. The theoretical support provided by this study can help facilitate innovative development in the discipline.
中国图书馆情报学的发展状况如何?
目的探讨我国高校图书馆情报学的发展现状。具体而言,它侧重于理解学科知识输出的时空方面,并为学科研究的不平衡提供更全面的解释。本研究采用文献计量学方法,对中国大陆51所高校1977 - 2021年间发表的131112篇中国社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)论文进行分析。本研究对学科发展趋势进行了分类,并利用发表论文指数对高校发表论文数据进行了量化。分析了不同类别、不同地区高校的发展现状、结构现状、影响因素和发展前景。研究发现:我国高校图书馆情报学专业发展势头正猛,但其发展存在显著差异。虽然各大学在区域范围内的相对差距正在缩小,但在类别方面的绝对差距正在扩大。图书馆情报学的发展受到学术环境、地理位置、科研项目和学术传统等诸多因素的影响。短期内保持学科发展不平衡的态势。本文提出了一种新的学科发展量化指标——大学出版指数。该指数以国内大学为研究对象,考察学科发展的时空趋势。本文从学术参与实践、学科治理机制、教育教学体系和学科内部话语建构四个方面对学科发展进行了概述。本研究提供的理论支持有助于促进学科的创新发展。
