摘要:

【目的】 在全球视野下,从宏观、中观、微观层面分析中国顶刊论文研究主题的特征及趋势。【方法】 基于1980—2020年NatureScience期刊上的研究型论文,利用对比分析法,从时间维度对我国顶刊论文不同层级的研究主题展开国际比较研究。【结果】 中国顶刊论文学科结构沿着与全球趋同的方向演进;中国顶刊论文覆盖的研究领域较少,一些增长型和衰减型研究领域呈现追随全球的显著趋势;中国顶刊论文研究主题多为追随型,起步晚、时滞长。【结论】 高水平研究的发展,不仅需要科研人员更加注重论文的内在质量,科技期刊也应充分发挥“把关人”作用,机构与国家应健全科研评价体系,为推动我国高水平研究提供良好的发展氛围与制度保障。

Abstract:

[Purposes] In the global perspective, this study takes the top-journal articles from China as research objects and analyzes their characteristics and development trends in terms of macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic topics. [Methods] Based on the articles published from 1980 to 2020 on Nature and Science, this study conducted an international comparison on research topics of articles from the time dimension. [Findings] The discipline structure of the top-journal publications from China evolves along the direction of the whole world. Research fields covered by articles from China are relatively limited and some with growth or decline trends demonstrate the tendency of following the global trends. The research topics of most top-journal articles from China follow the global trend, as characterized by late start and long delay. [Conclusions] High-level research requires the joint efforts of researchers, scientific journals, and universities and research institutions. Specifically, quality papers from researchers, strict requirement of papers by journals, and sound scientific research evaluation system of universities and research institutions are the guarantees for the high-level research in China.
