Abstract
The large number of journals and the constant changes which are happening in the world of scholarly publishing make it difficult to identify a group of journals relevant to a specific scientific field, particularly when dealing with a sub-field such as mapping sciences, which is inter-linked with many other disciplines. In this research, we form the corpus of active journals relevant to the mapping sciences and present their distribution by country, language of publication and level of accessibility. A systematic review of different subject-specific and multidisciplinary databases (GEOPHOKA, Bibliographia Cartographica, VINITI, GeoRef, Scopus and Web of Science), library catalogues, publishers’ web sites, professional associations’ web sites and other web resources was carried out. By applying set of criteria, a corpus of active journals in the field of mapping sciences was defined: it consists of 105 selected journals. The corpus of mapping sciences journals is described in detail, and the ISSN for each printed and online journal, the publisher, country, URL, language of publication and data on free accessibility are given. The largest numbers of mapping sciences journals are published in Germany, the United States of America and Poland. There are 53 journals in English language, while 44 are in open access. The limitations related to a lack of transparency of data on mapping sciences journals are discussed, as are questions of terminology.
学术出版领域的期刊数量众多,变化不断,这使得很难确定一组与特定科学领域相关的期刊,特别是在处理与许多其他学科相互联系的子领域(如地图科学)时。在这项研究中,我们形成了与地图科学相关的活跃期刊的语料库,并按国家、出版语言和可及性水平呈现了它们的分布。对不同学科和多学科数据库(GEOPHOKA、Bibliographia Cartographica、VINITI、GeoRef、Scopus和Web of Science)、图书馆目录、出版商网站、专业协会网站和其他网络资源进行了系统审查。通过应用一套标准,定义了地图科学领域活跃期刊的语料库:它由105种精选期刊组成。详细描述了地图科学期刊的语料库,并给出了每种纸质和在线期刊的ISSN、出版商、国家、URL、出版语言和免费获取数据。德国、美利坚合众国和波兰出版的地图科学期刊数量最多。有53种英文期刊,44种是开放获取的。讨论了与制图科学期刊数据缺乏透明度有关的限制,以及术语问题。
