研究前沿活动的一个指标：测量知识组织作为文档集的不确定性减少
An Indicator of Research Front Activity: Measuring Intellectual Organization as Uncertainty Reduction in Document Sets
摘要：
当使用科学文献对学术话语进行建模时，研究专业可以作为一组不断发展的相关文档进行操作。每一份出版物都有望为研究前沿专业的进一步发展做出贡献。论文中的标题词和引用文献的特定组合可以被认为是论文中知识主张的签名：新词和词的组合可以被期望代表变化，而每篇论文同时使用上下文相关的参考文献选择性地定位到一个领域的知识组织中。这三个维度--标题词、引用文献和序列号--之间的互信息是否可以作为一个指标，用来衡量知识组织在多大程度上构建了一个研究前沿的不确定性？纳米管（1991年）的发现对先前存在的富勒烯领域的影响被用作测试案例。此后，这种方法被应用于科学研究，重点是科学计量学使用各种样本划定。引文分析是一个新兴的研究前沿。
英文摘要：
When using scientific literature to model scholarly discourse, a research specialty can be operationalized as an evolving set of related documents. Each publication can be expected to contribute to the further development of the specialty at the research front. The specific combinations of title words and cited references in a paper can then be considered as a signature of the knowledge claim in the paper: new words and combinations of words can be expected to represent variation, while each paper is at the same time selectively positioned into the intellectual organization of a field using context-relevant references. Can the mutual information among these three dimensions--title words, cited references, and sequence numbers--be used as an indicator of the extent to which intellectual organization structures the uncertainty prevailing at a research front? The effect of the discovery of nanotubes (1991) on the previously existing field of fullerenes is used as a test case. Thereafter, this method is applied to science studies with a focus on scientometrics using various sample delineations. An emerging research front about citation analysis can be indicated.
