为了深入了解国内外在索引领域的研究进展,本文应用文献计量法和内容分析法,对2005-2009年间国内外研究索引的文献进行统计分析,包括期刊分布、作者分布、主题分布三个方面,总结当前国内外索引研究的热点,并预测未来研究中的发展趋势。结果表明,国外索引领域的核心期刊已基本形成,而国内索引领域的核心期刊群尚未稳定;国内外目前都尚未形成稳定的核心作者群;在研究热点方面,国内外情况有所差异,但发展趋势趋于一致。
To better understand the progresses in the field of indexing at home and abroad, by using the methods of bibliometrics and content analysis, the paper makes a statistical analysis of the literatures on indexing between 2005 and 2009. The analyses include three aspects, distribution of authors, distribution of journals and hot topics. Finally, the authors summarized the hot topics in current researches and predicted the trends in future researches on indexing. The core journals on indexing are formed in foreign countries while core authors not formed yet either at home or abroad. It differs at home and abroad as for the hot topics, but the trends are consistent.
