学术期刊书评:模式与动态

Book reviews in academic journals: patterns and dynamics

Weishu Liu, Yishan Ding, Mengdi Gu

摘要:

书评在学术交流中扮演着重要的角色,尤其是在艺术和人文学科中。本研究利用Web of Science的Science Citation Index Expanded、Social Sciences Citation Index和Arts & Humanities Citation Index,实证分析了过去十年(2006-2015年)这三个索引中书评的模式和动态。我们发现,书评在三大指数中的绝对数量相对稳定,但相对份额却在下降。书评在文科很常见,在社科很常见,在自然科学很少见。书评主要由美国和英国等发达经济体的作者撰写。不过,来自中国和日本的学者不太可能为书评做出贡献。

英文摘要:

Book reviews play important roles in scholarly communication especially in arts and humanities disciplines. By using Web of Science's Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, this study probed the patterns and dynamics of book reviews within these three indexes empirically during the past decade (2006-2015). We found that the absolute numbers of book reviews among all the three indexes were relatively stable but the relative shares were decreasing. Book reviews were very common in arts and humanities, common in social sciences, but rare in natural sciences. Book reviews are mainly contributed by authors from developed economies such as the USA and the UK. Oppositely, scholars from China and Japan are unlikely to contribute to book reviews.
