期刊间引文关系的不连续性:自组织批判性作为科学革命和变革的模型
Discontinuities in Citation Relations among Journals: Self-organized Criticality as a Model of Scientific Revolutions and Change
摘要:
使用科学引文索引和社会科学引文索引(合并)的完整期刊引文报告1994-2016的三年移动平均值,我们分析了引用和被引用期刊之间的联系:(1)连续几年的网络之间是否发生了不连续性;(2)这些不连续性是相对孤立的还是网络化的?(3)这些不连续性是否可以作为科学中新颖性、变化和创新的指标?我们检查了N个期刊之间的N2个链接。我们发现前10,000例变化的幂律,我们建议用“自组织临界性”来解释:在聚合引用关系和知识库中的Meta稳态中雪崩的共同进化可以预期将科学推向混乱的边缘。新手稿中期刊之间的引用流量可能会在亚稳态网络中产生雪崩,但人们可以预期这种影响仍然是局部的(例如,在专业范围内)。雪崩可以是任何规模;它们通过在受影响的分区中引发历史重写来重新定位相关的引用环境。
英文摘要:
Using three-year moving averages of the complete Journal Citation Reports 1994-2016 of the Science Citation Index and the Social Sciences Citation Index (combined), we analyze links between citing and cited journals in terms of (1) whether discontinuities among the networks of consecutive years have occurred; (2) are these discontinuities relatively isolated or networked? (3) Can these discontinuities be used as indicators of novelty, change, and innovation in the sciences? We examine each of the N2 links among the N journals across the years. We find power-laws for the top 10,000 instances of change, which we suggest interpreting in terms of "self-organized criticality": co-evolutions of avalanches in aggregated citation relations and meta-stable states in the knowledge base can be expected to drive the sciences towards the edges of chaos. The flux of journal-journal citations in new manuscripts may generate an avalanche in the meta-stable networks, but one can expect the effects to remain local (for example, within a specialty). The avalanches can be of any size; they reorient the relevant citation environments by inducing a rewrite of history in the affected partitions.
