文獻計量學在教育研究上之應用

The Application of Bibliometrics in Educational Research

學術期刊是任何知識領域發展的指標，學術期刊也是傳播知識的主要渠道。由於近年來訂閱期刊成本不斷地上升，各個圖書館因此應更加謹慎地選擇所要訂閱的任何期刊。因此，圖書館員和統計學家被迫進行文獻計量學研究並減少期刊訂閱的數量，也造就了文獻計量學逐漸成為研究方法學中重要的一環。本文的主要目的是要透過利用由Aria和Cuccurullo（2017）所共同開發之文獻計量學R語言套件為工具，並以Asia Pacific Journal of Education、Asia Pacific Educational Review和Asia-Pacific Educational Researcher這三份名列於SSCI之中的亞太地區知名教育期刊為研究對象，介紹文獻計量學在教育學研究上的應用，並提供國內相關教育研究學者在進行文獻分析時的另一項選擇。

Academic journals are indicators of the development of any field of knowledge, and academic journals are also the main channel for disseminating knowledge. As the cost of subscription journals continues to rise in recent years, libraries should therefore be more cautious in selecting any journals that the library is to subscribe to. As a result, librarians and statisticians have been forced to conduct bibliometric studies and reduce the number of journal subscriptions, which has led to the emergence of bibliometrics as an important part of research methodology. The main purpose of this paper is to use the bibliometric R package developed by Aria and Cuccurullo (2017) as a tool, and Asia Pacific Journal of Education, Asia Pacific Educational Review and Asia-Pacific Educational Researcher, three well-known educational journals listed in SSCI in the Asia-Pacific region, are the research objects, introduce the application of bibliometrics in educational research, and provide another choice for domestic educational researchers to conduct literature analysis.
