Abstract

Citation context analysis is a detailed and rigorous form of literature review that goes beyond traditional narrative and systematic reviews to better understand the impact of seminal works and influential authors. We discuss the types of questions citation context analyses can answer and provide a set of guidelines for how to effectively conduct them. Citation context analysis holds promise for enabling a more systematic assessment of how theories are used, empirically tested, and critiqued by subsequent citing authors. This has implications for both theory development and testing, and for the improvement of citation practices within the field of organizational studies and the social and physical sciences more broadly.

引文上下文分析作为进行严谨和有影响力的文献综述的方法

引文上下文分析是一种详细而严谨的文献综述形式，它超越了传统的叙事和系统综述，可以更好地理解开创性作品和有影响力的作者的影响。我们讨论了引文上下文分析可以回答的问题类型，并为如何有效地进行引文上下文分析提供了一套指导方针。引文上下文分析有望对理论如何被使用、实证检验和随后的引用作者的批评进行更系统的评估。这对理论发展和测试，以及对组织研究和更广泛的社会科学和物理科学领域的引用实践的改进都有影响。

期刊介绍： Organizational Research Methods (ORM) was founded with the aim of introducing pertinent methodological advancements to researchers in organizational sciences. The objective of ORM is to promote the application of current and emerging methodologies to advance both theory and research practices. Articles are expected to be comprehensible to readers with a background consistent with the methodological and statistical training provided in contemporary organizational sciences doctoral programs. The text should be presented in a manner that facilitates accessibility. For instance, highly technical content should be placed in appendices, and authors are encouraged to include example data and computer code when relevant. Additionally, authors should explicitly outline how their contribution has the potential to advance organizational theory and research practice.
