选择期刊Scientometrics、Journal of Informetrics 2003-2012年期间发表的论文和国际科学计量学与信息计量学大会(ISSI大会)论文集论文为样本,对中国大陆和台湾地区科学计量学与信息计量学的发展进行比较研究。研究从4个方面展开:论文计量分析、引文计量分析、合作研究以及研究内容考察。研究结果表明,中国大陆和台湾地区已经成为国际上科学计量学与信息计量学论文产出大户,但是中国大陆地区论文年篇均引文略低于世界平均水平,AR指数低于台湾地区;两地区学者已经产出合著论文,但合作局限于少数学者和少数机构之间;两地区的研究对象和研究方法有共性又各有特色,中国大陆地区学者更重视科学计量,台湾地区学者更重视技术测度。最后提出促进两地区科学计量学与信息计量学发展需要深入讨论的几个问题。
Based on the papers published in Scientometrics, Journal of lnformetrics (2003 -2012), and in the proceedings of the conferences of International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics ( ISSI), this study compares the development of scientometrics and informetrics in Mainland China with that in Taiwan. The comparison includes four sections: publication analysis, citation analysis, collaboration study and contents exploration. The results show that during the observed period both Mainland China and Taiwan become more and more productive in international paper publication;the average citation per publication per year for Mainland China, however, is somewhat lower than the world average and the AR index is lower than Taiwan' s ; research collaboration between Mainland China an dTaiwan has produced some co-authored papers, though the collaboration only exists within a few scholars and organizations; both sides share some common study topics, and both have their own dominant topics : Mainland China' s scholars - measuring science, Taiwan's - measuring technology. Some problems regarding the new development of scientometrics and informetrics in Mainland China and in Taiwan are suggested for further discussion.
