近十年漢學研究發展趨勢探討—以《漢學研究》進行文獻計量分析

Abstract

本研究使用文獻計量法分析《漢學研究》2011年至2022年間研究文獻特性與作者特性，研究資料來源為國家圖書館建置之「漢學研究中心出版品全文資料庫」，下載共計721筆文獻書目。刪除廣告、索引、寫作格式、稿約、書評、導言非研究文獻之部分後，共計442篇研究文獻，共計1,898個作者關鍵字。針對作者國別分佈與合著情形、關鍵字群聚分析以及研究主題分佈進行《漢學研究》近年研究趨勢之分析。本研究結果如下：一、《漢學研究》期刊文獻之作者特性，最多文獻之作者國別為臺灣，共有305人次，佔總研究文獻的67.7%。海外作者則以美國為最多，佔2.4%。以四年一分期進行統計，來自海外地區的投稿與國家數量有逐漸減少之趨勢，《漢學研究》期刊受國際漢學界的關注程度可能不若以往。出版語言以中文為主，共有424篇，佔總研究文獻的95.9%。《漢學研究》之研究文獻多為單人作者，共有428篇，佔總研究文獻96.8%。合著情形較少，且作者偏好與同國別、同語言的學者合著。二、《漢學研究》期刊之文獻特性，關鍵字多集中於中國哲學領域，以「清」、「朱熹」等最多，分別出現20次及18次。主題分佈以「文學」類別為最熱門的研究主題，共有95篇，佔總研究文獻的21.5%。其次依序為「歷史」、「哲學」、「語言學」。《漢學研究》研究主題集中於「文史哲」領域，期刊專輯確實帶動該領域的研究趨勢。中國漢學研究主題的文獻數量每年穩定出版，共有420篇，占總研究文獻的95%。臺灣漢學研究主題文獻則逐年下降，「臺灣主體性」的政策並未影響《漢學研究》作者的研究方向。針對本次研究結果，建議如下：一、對漢學研究出版界人員之建議，建議可研擬相關獎勵制度，鼓勵來臺學者投稿，以提高《漢學研究》在國際漢學間的關注，為臺灣在兩岸漢學研究競爭熱烈的現今增加國際能見度。二、對漢學研究領域及相關研究人員之建議，漢學的其他領域，如藝術與地理方志等研究較少，尚有許多可研究探討的空間。建議漢學研究者開闢更多元、跨領域的研究主題，以豐富《漢學研究》稿件的多樣性。 建議未來研究可擴大《漢學研究》之研究項目與範圍，並進一步與其他臺灣漢學期刊進行比對。以及研究該期刊引文資料之特性，以了解各類領域的研究情形以及引用概況。This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to examine the characteristics of research literature and authorship in the journal" Chinese Studies " from 2011 to 2022. The data for analysis were from the " Database of Center for Chinese Studies Publications " which is established by the National Central Library. A total of 721 literature references were downloaded, and after excluding advertisements, indexes, writing formats, agreements, book reviews, and non-research sections, 442 research articles remained for analysis. These articles involved 1,898 author keywords. The analysis focused on the distribution of author nationalities and collaboration, keyword clustering, and the distribution of research topics to identify recent trends in"Chinese Studies." The study results are as follows: 1. Author characteristics in "Chinese Studies": The majority of authors were from Taiwan, accounting for 67.7% of the total research literature with 305 individuals. The highest number of overseas authors was from the United States, comprising 2.4%. The author divided time period into 4 years (2011-2014, 2015-2019..etc.),, there has been a decreasing trend in the number of submissions and participating countries from overseas regions, indicating that "Chinese Studies" may receive less attention from the international sinology community compared to the past. The primary language of publication was Chinese, with 424 articles, accounting for 95.9% of the total research literature. Most research articles in "Chinese Studies" had single authors (428 articles, 96.8%), indicating a preference for solo authorship. Collaborative research was less common, and authors tended to collaborate with scholars from the same country and language background. 2. Literature characteristics in "Chinese Studies": The keyword analysis revealed a focus on the field of Chinese philosophy, with "Qing" and "Zhu Xi" being the most frequent keywords, appearing 20 and 18 times, respectively. The most popular research topics were in the "literature" category, with 95 articles, accounting for 21.5% of the total research literature. The subsequent categories were "history," "philosophy," and "linguistics." The research topics in "Chinese Studies" predominantly concentrated on the"culture, history, and philosophy" field, and the journal's special issues indeed influenced the research trends in this field. Chinese sinology research topics had a steady number of publications each year, with 420 articles, comprising 95% of the total research literature. However, research topics related to Taiwan sinology showed a declining trend, suggesting that the "Taiwan-centric" policy did not significantly affect the research direction of authors in "Chinese Studies." Based on the study results, the following recommendations are proposed:1. Recommendations for the publishing community in Chinese studies: Consider implementing relevant incentive systems to encourage scholars from overseas to submit articles to"Chinese Studies" and increase its international visibility, particularly in the competitive landscape of sinology research between Taiwan and mainland China. 2. Recommendations for the field of Chinese studies and researchers: Explore and investigate other areas within Chinese studies that have received less attention, such as art and geographical gazetteers. Encourage researchers in Chinese studies to pursue diverse and interdisciplinary research topics to enrich the variety of submissions to"Chinese Studies." Future research can expand the scope of analysis for "Chinese Studies" and conduct comparisons with other Taiwanese sinology journals. Additionally, researching the citation characteristics of the journal's articles would provide insights into the research landscape and citation patterns in various fields.
