從高被引設計論文探討設計趨勢──以TCI-HSS兩篇高被引期刊論文為例

Exploring Design Trends through Highly Cited Design Papers: A Case Study on Two Highly Cited Journal Articles in TCI-HSS

學術論文在知識傳播過程中發揮重要的作用，對「高被引」論文的整梳理與分析，不僅能了解這些論文作者研究思路的演變過程，也能從中發掘出某個領域的研究發展趨勢與熱點議題，這對其他研究者而言是非常有價值的。本文藉由文獻分析對《111年臺灣學術資源影響力分析報告》中藝術學類別排名第1與第10的兩篇代表性高被引論文，探討其與設計發展相關的趨勢。這兩篇論文係同一位學者所完成，自有其意義。本文通過「知識地圖」、「關鍵詞」、「高被引時期」，對「設計領域」中引述過這兩篇文獻的64篇期刊論文展開系統性分析，探討2011－2021年間這些論文的研究主題、所屬領域、變化趨勢與引用論文等情況。研究發現：（1）兩篇高被引論文在學理層面與實務層面具備參考價值，都為臺灣設計的學術研究與產業發展有所呼應；（2）兩篇高被引論文研究的重點，符合臺灣設計發展的趨勢，從跨領域的角度為設計研究提出新的思路與方法；（3）這兩篇文獻在一定程度上提升了「設計學門」中文化創意產業的研究熱度。本文認為，對高被引論文的重視與引述，不僅僅要觀察其被引用的次數或頻率，而應該透過這些數據去了解文獻與所在地區相關學科發展趨勢的關係，以及引用這些文獻的文章，它們是否也聚焦相關學科或產業展開研究與分析。未來的研究，還可以針對「直接引述」與「間接引述」的文章進一步分析，以了解其脈絡，提供相關領域的研究者參考。

Academic papers play a pivotal role in the dissemination of knowledge. The comprehensive analysis of highly cited papers not only allows us to comprehend the evolution of the authors' research ideas but also facilitates the identification of trends and hot topics in a particular field. This is of immense value to other researchers. In this article, we delve into the trends related to design development through a literature analysis of two representative highly cited papers ranked 1st and 10th in the category of Arts in the Taiwan Academic Resource Impact Analysis Report for the Year 111. These two papers were authored by the same scholar, which adds significance to our examination. We employ a systematic approach, utilizing knowledge maps, keywords, and highly cited periods to analyze 64 journal papers from the design field that have cited these two articles between 2011 and 2021. This analysis explores the research themes, disciplinary affiliations, evolving trends, and cited references of these papers. Our findings are as follows: Both highly cited papers hold significant academic and practical value, contributing to the academic research and industrial development of design in Taiwan. The focus of these highly cited papers aligns with the trends in design development in Taiwan. They provide fresh perspectives and methodologies for design research from an interdisciplinary standpoint. To some extent, these two papers have increased the research interest in cultural and creative industries within the design discipline. In conclusion, we argue that the emphasis on and citation of highly cited papers should go beyond mere citation counts or frequencies. Instead, we should use this data to understand the relationship between the literature and the development trends in the relevant disciplines and regions. We should also examine whether the articles citing these papers are also conducting research and analysis in related disciplines or industries. Future research could further analyze articles that directly cite and indirectly cite these papers to gain insight into their context, thereby providing valuable references for researchers in related fields.
