以汤森路透科技集团的WEB OF KNOWLEDGE信息平台提供的Science Citation Index Expanded数据库为数据源,检索到从1997年至2009年期间国际生物多样性研究论文文献219773篇,其中11182篇来自于中国学者。利用NoteExpress软件,对这13a间生物多样性研究论文发表的国家分布、年度分布、研究机构、引用情况、期刊分布和学科分类等做的分析与比较表明:1)全球生物多样性研究的论文数量一直呈增长趋势,中国13年间每年发文量占当年全球生物多样性论文总量的百分率逐年增加;2)从论文总被引频次、篇均引用次数和h-index三项论文影响力特征参数分析,中国与国际其他国家相比有一定差距;3)从学科分类来看,与国际相比,中国在生物多样性保护领域、进化生物学和海洋与淡水生物学领域研究略显不足,昆虫学和真菌学研究领域活跃。
Biodiversity provides a platform humans can thrive on, and it is vital for ensuring the sustainable development of society. China is one of the megadiverse countries in the world, and was also among the earliest to join the Convention on Biological Diversity. Since the launch of the Biodiversity Conservation Plan in China in 1994, researchers in China have devoted more than 10 years of hard work in the area of biodiversity and published a large number of research papers and documents. A search was conducted for papers on biodiversity using the Science Citation Index Expanded, using TS = ("biological diversity" OR biodiversity OR " species diversity" OR " species richness" OR " genetic diversity" OR ecosystem * OR communities OR "ecosystem function" OR "bio * invasion * " OR "invasive species" OR "endangered species" OR "conservation biology" OR "biodiversity conservation" OR biogeography OR "new species" OR taxonomy OR phylogeny OR "landscape diversity"). By analyzing and comparing characteristic figures, this paper accesses the current status and international influence of biodiversity studies in China, and also attempts to provide direction for possible future research. Between 1997 and 2009, 219773 papers addressing various facets of biodiversity were published globally, with twice as many published in 2009 compared with 1997. During these 13 years, China exhibited the fastest growth rate in terms of the quantity of such papers, with 110 papers published in 1997 and 20 times that number published in 2009, when compared with 207 countries and regions in the world. Globally, the percentage of these papers originating in China continues to increase, growing from 1.23% in 1997 to 7.81% in 2009. China ranks 7th with 11182 papers published during this time period, representing 5.08% of the total number published on biodiversity globally. Members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published the largest quantity of papers related to various facets of biodivers
