能源领域文献计量学分析

在全球经济日新月异的今天，能源问题逐渐成为世界各国政要需要解决的头等大事，自然，如何界定、衡量、评估能源的研究与发展也已成为各国智囊的首要任务。该文独创了多管齐下的方法清晰地描述了能源领域的研究现状：从能源研究机构发表的论文中筛选出与能源研究紧密相关的关键词组执行检索命令，生成最基本的能源论文数据组，然后通过能源专业期刊以及参考文献和引文对能源论文数据组进行扩展。该方法巧妙地同时保持了较高的查全率与查准率。数据分析结果表明，自1996年以来能源领域的论文翻了一番，其中中国保持了惊人的增长速度，论文数量有了大幅攀升，且科学研究专业化程度明显提高。与此相比，许多英语国家（除加拿大的能源领域研究好于世界平均水平）的能源研究进展缓慢，逐渐失去了传统的领先优势。

Bibliometric Analysis of Energy Research at the World Level ＆ Benchmarking of CanmetENERGY

Given our growing dependence on energy, it is relevant to examine how to defme, measure, and assess energy research and development. This study discusses the use of bibliometrie methods for examining the evolution of energy research at the world level and in leading countries. The originality of the proposed method lies in the use of a several-pronged approach to delineating the field： seeding a keyword set with the output of research organizations in the field, augmenting this dataset with specialized journal, papers selected on the grounds of number of references made to a basic dataset and papers selected on the basis of citations received from papers in that basic dataset. This strategy results in both high recall and high precision. Results show that scientific output in energy research has doubled since 1996. Among leading countries, China has demonstrated a stu- pendous growth rate, specialization in the field, and immense scientific output. In contrast, many English-speaking countries （with the exception of Canada, which performs above the world average） are not performing as strongly, and some of the traditionally well established countries in energy R＆D （e.g., the US and Japan） are progressively losing ground.
