Abstract:

[Purposes] From the perspective of the evolution of citation and co-citation network structure, the study explores the context of knowledge diffusion in the research field, which provides a new reference for the research of knowledge diffusion based on citation network. [Methods] Taking citation analysis as an example, we combined with the journal citation network structure transformation measurement indicators to reveal the knowledge diffusion path of citation analysis based on the periodical double overlay map and structure transformation model, and the most influential academic journals were predicted by the periodical double figure overlay mapping. [Findings] Knowledge bases of citation analysis research are under evolution, the core basic research areas are gradually increasing, and the core application research remains in psychology, education, and health. It is a crucial year of network structure transformation of citation analysis in 2012. Research Policy, Organization Studies, Scientometrics and European Journal of Information Systems will be significant journals in potential which may lead to new structural transformations. [Conclusions] A new perspective on the journal knowledge diffusion and its impact is proposed.

摘要：

【目的】 从期刊施引和共被引网络结构演化的视角,探寻研究领域的知识扩散脉络,为基于引文网络的知识扩散研究提供新的参考。【方法】 基于期刊双图叠加知识图谱和结构变换模型,以引文分析为例,通过绘制期刊双图叠加图谱,结合期刊引文网络结构变换计量指标,揭示引文分析领域知识扩散的路径,预测未来该领域最具影响力的学术期刊。【结果】 引文分析研究的知识基础不断演化,核心基础研究正在逐渐增加,核心应用研究依然维持在心理学、教育、卫生学三大领域之中。2012年是引文分析研究网络结构变换的关键之年,Research Policy、Organization Studies、Scientometrics、European Journal of Information Systems将成为引发新的结构变革的潜在标志性期刊。【结论】 为预测期刊知识扩散及其影响力提供新的分析视角。
