信息与图书馆学编辑委员会网络
Seats at the table: the network of the editorial boards in information and library science
摘要:
运用网络分析技术,探讨了《情报学与图书馆学》期刊编辑活动所形成的网络的结构特征。学者在编辑委员会的交叉存在,这种现象被称为连锁编辑,被认为是编辑政策相似性的代表。证据支持这样的想法,这组期刊更好地描述为一组只有相对连接的子领域。特别是确定了两个主要的子领域,分别致力于LIS和MIS的研究型期刊。这两个子集之间的联系是薄弱的。围绕这两个子集,有许多(相对)孤立的专业期刊或期刊,其特点更多的是主题内容,而不是对信息流的关注。这是可能的建议,这种网络的配置可能是情报科学和图书馆学的年轻的结果,这还没有允许通过学者达成普遍共识的研究目标,方法和工具。
英文摘要:
The structural properties of the network generated by the editorial activities of the members of the boards of "Information Science & Library Science" journals are explored through network analysis techniques. The crossed presence of scholars on editorial boards, the phenomenon called interlocking editorship, is considered a proxy of the similarity of editorial policies. The evidences support the idea that this group of journals is better described as a set of only relatively connected subfields. In particular two main subfield are identified, consisting of research oriented journals devoted respectively to LIS and MIS. The links between these two subsets are weak. Around these two subsets there are a lot of (relatively) isolated professional journals or journals characterized more by their subject-matter content than by their focus on information flows. It is possible to suggest that this configuration of the network may be the consequence of the youthfulness of Information Science & Library Science, which has not permitted yet to reach a general consensus through scholars on research aims, methods and instruments.
