Abstract

PurposeThis paper presents a comprehensive study using bibliometric and social network analysis (SNA) to depict the academic community, research hotspots and the correlation between research performance and social network measurements within Library Hi Tech.Design/methodology/approachPublications from Library Hi Tech between 2010 and 2022 are reviewed and analysed through coauthorship analysis, co-occurrence analysis, SNA and the Spearman rank correlation test.FindingsThe annual number of publications in Library Hi Tech increased from 2016 to 2022, indicating that this research has gradually gained global attention. The USA and China are the most significant contributors to the relevant publications. Scholars in this field mainly engage in small-scale cooperation. Academic libraries, digital libraries, libraries, information technology and COVID-19 were hot topics during the study period. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a marked increase in research on healthcare. Academic interest in the internet of Things and social media has proliferated recently and may soon attract more attention. Spearman rank correlation analysis shows that research performance (i.e. publication count and citation count) is significantly and positively correlated with social network measurements (i.e. degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality and eigenvector centrality) in studies of Library Hi Tech.Originality/valueThis paper reveals a systematic picture of the research landscape of Library Hi Tech and provides a potential guide for future research. The relationship between scientific research performance and social network measurements can be objectively identified based on statistical knowledge.

打开图书馆高科技的黑匣子：一个社会网络与文献计量学分析

目的本文利用文献计量学和社会网络分析（SNA）对图书馆高新技术内部的学术界、研究热点以及研究绩效与社会网络测量之间的相关性进行了全面研究。设计/方法/方法通过合著分析对2010年至2022年图书馆高新技术的出版物进行了回顾和分析，共现分析、SNA和Spearman秩相关检验。发现从2016年到2022年，图书馆高新技术的年度出版物数量有所增加，表明这项研究逐渐受到全球关注。美国和中国是相关出版物的最重要贡献者。该领域的学者主要从事小规模的合作。学术图书馆、数字图书馆、图书馆、信息技术和新冠肺炎是研究期间的热门话题。鉴于新冠肺炎大流行，医疗保健研究显著增加。最近，学术界对物联网和社交媒体的兴趣激增，可能很快就会引起更多关注。Spearman秩相关分析表明，在图书馆高科技研究中，研究绩效（即发表次数和引用次数）与社会网络测量（即度中心性、介数中心性、贴近度中心性和特征向量中心性）显著正相关并为未来的研究提供了潜在的指导。科学研究绩效与社会网络测量之间的关系可以基于统计知识进行客观识别。
