拉图尔是当代著名的科学知识社会学家,巴黎学派的代表人物,曾开创了科学知识生产的实验室研究和人类学研究范式,和卡龙等人提出了著名的行动者网络理论。它在科学技术学领域成果丰硕,影响深远。本文以他的两部代表性著作——《实验室生活》和《行动中的科学》——为案例,通过科学计量学和科学知识图谱的方法,对拉图尔的学术贡献和影响,尤其是在“科学知识生产”研究领域的贡献和影响进行了深入细致的分析。
Bruno Latour is a famous contemporary scientific knowledge sociologist and a major representative of Paris School. He pioneered the laboratory studies and ethnography studies in the field of scientific knowledge production, and proposed the Network theory with Michel Callon. As a productive scholar in science and technology studies, he receives huge citations from various disciplines and had a profound influence around different subjects. In this paper, two of his books, Laboratory Life and Science in Action, are selected as cases and analyzed using seientometrics and science reaping. In this way, Latour's academic contribution and influence, particularly in the field of scientific knowledge production, is illustrated and interpreted.
