Abstract

The author explores the array of doctoral dissertations in the area of forest engineering, forestry technologies and machines, submitted in the period of 1955–2022 (190 dissertations). The bibliometrical analysis enabled to specify 5 time periods differing in their dynamics (1955–1962; 1963–1970; 1971–1989; 1990–1999; 2000–2022). Before 1993, there were two defense hubs, namely Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg); after 1993, regional hubs emerged. In 1993–2022, 68% dissertations were defended in the regions outside Moscow and St. Petersburg; 14% dissertations were defended in two disciplines. On average, 16 years were passing between scientist’s candidate and doctoral dissertations, however, since 1994, this difference may make less than 10 years – 24% papers in 2009–2022. In 1955–1982, the keywords “study”, “problems”, “basics” dominated in the titles, and since 1986 – “feasibility”, “increase”, and “improvement”. After 2006–2008, the number of titles including “feasibility” decreased, and the word combination “refining the theory (method)” became popular. Since 1986, the vector of studies changed from process and system studies toward their modernization and enhancement. Through classification by the research subject, 42 topical areas were specified, and then divided into two groups. Within the group one, the papers can be bundled (over 3 dissertations) and make subject fields where their own systematization is possible. In the group two, the dissertations make the individual studies (103 papers) that can hardly be consolidated into the array. Within several topical field, the cyclicism is observed – the dissertations are defended regularly. The content analysis of dissertation titles coupled with bibliometrical methods, reveals the more regular pattern within the individual specialty. The obtained findings will be demanded by researchers and professionals engaged in scientometrical and bibliometrical research.
基于博士学位答辩时间顺序和职称内容分析的个别学科论文阵列的系统化。(第1部分)
作者对1955-2022年期间提交的森林工程、林业技术和机械领域的一系列博士论文(190篇)进行了研究。文献计量分析能够确定5个不同的动态时期(1955-1962;1963 - 1970;1971 - 1989;1990 - 1999;2000 - 2022)。1993年以前,有两个国防中心,即莫斯科和列宁格勒(现圣彼得堡);1993年以后,区域中心出现了。1993-2022年,68%的论文在莫斯科和圣彼得堡以外的地区进行辩护;14%的论文在两个学科中答辩。科学家候选人和博士论文之间的平均间隔为16年,然而,自1994年以来,这一差距可能不到10年- 2009-2022年为24%。在1955-1982年期间,关键词“研究”、“问题”、“基础”在标题中占主导地位,而从1986年开始,关键词则是“可行性”、“增加”和“改进”。2006-2008年以后,包含“可行性”的题目减少,“提炼理论(方法)”的组合词开始流行。1986年以来,研究的载体从过程研究和系统研究走向现代化和强化。通过对研究课题的分类,确定了42个专题领域,然后分为两组。在第一组内,论文可以捆绑(超过3篇论文),并使主题领域,他们自己的系统化是可能的。在第二组中,论文构成了难以整合成一组的个别研究(103篇)。在几个专题领域中,观察到周期性-论文定期辩护。论文题目的内容分析与文献计量学方法相结合,揭示了个人专业内部更有规律的模式。所获得的发现将被从事科学计量和文献计量研究的研究人员和专业人员所要求。
