【副题名】兼论社会科学研究国际化

【摘要】 在全球化背景下,社会科学研究国际化不仅是全球化时代的必然要求,也是世界社会科学发展的重要趋势之一,更是历史赋予我国现代社会科学的重要使命。那么我国社会科学研究国际化的基本状况如何?与周边汉字文化圈国家或地区相比,具有哪些异同?今后该如何推进社会科学研究国际化?这些问题是我国在社会科学研究国际化过程中必须回答的问题。本研究选择SSCI(Social Science Citation Index)论文为研究视角,从一个侧面揭示30年来我国大陆社会科学研究国际化的进展与特征。本研究通过对1978—2007年我国大陆SSCI论文的文献计量学分析发现,我国大陆SSCI论文发表具有如下特征:数量逐年上升,近十年增长速度较快;高校发表的数量在国内机构中占有优势;合作论文比例大于唯一作者论文比例;国际合作论文比例较高,且呈上升趋势;研究内容更多的关注国内问题;在“经济与商业管理”领域发表的SSCI论文较多;在“教育学”、“法学”、“社会学”等领域SSCI论文的平均影响因子较低,而在“心理学”、“信息与传播科学”、“其他社会与行为科学”、“公共卫生与社会福利”等领域较高。通过与汉字文化圈的部分国家或地区进行比较发现,我国大陆SSCI论文发表与我国台湾、韩国、日本有一些共同点:数量逐年增长;高校是发表主体;以合作论文为主,且合作论文比重呈上升趋势;在学科分布上,我国大陆与韩国、我国台湾相似,都是在“经济与商业管理”领域数量最多,而日本则是在“心理学”领域发表的论文最多;在增长速度上,我国大陆与我国台湾、韩国相似,近十年的平均增长速度都大大超过日本;我国大陆、我国台湾、韩国与日本在“经济与商业管理”、“法学”等领域SSCI论文的平均影响因子低于世界平均影响因子。通过比较也发现,我国大陆与我国台湾、韩国、日本在SSCI论文发表上也存在一些明显差异:如我国大陆论文总量偏少,研究内容偏重国内问题,合作论文及国际合作论文比例较高。通过对1978—2007年我国大陆高校SSCI论文的文献计量学分析发现,我国高校SSCI论文发表具有如下特征:高校SSCI论文与全国SSCI论文的增长趋势一致;高校SSCI论文数量在国内机构中占有优势;“985工程”高校是高校SSCI论文发表的主力。在社会科学各学科中,高校也是SSCI论文发表的主体。北京大学社会科学各学科SSCI论文发表在全国高校中具有明显的比较优势。各校社会科学领域SSCI论文的发表呈现不均衡状况。另外,我国大陆高校与我国台湾、韩国、日本高校相比,总量上还有不少差距;所占比例也较低;国际合作论文比例较高。但我国台湾、我国大陆、韩国、日本高校SSCI论文高产组的大学基本都是各自重点建设的一流大学。定量研究的结果表明,我国大陆SSCI论文的发表能力较弱,而日本较强。鉴于此,对影响我国大陆SSCI论文及社会科学研究国际化的因素进行分析时,较多地结合了日本的经验。结果表明,经济发展水平、思想观念、研究人员和经费投入、科研政策的国际化导向、科研管理的国际化趋势、科研评价的国际影响、期刊的国际化、传统历史与文化等因素都对我国大陆SSCI论文发表及社会科学研究国际化产生影响。在上述研究的基础上,本研究提出了我国社会科学研究国际化的指导思想、目标及主要举措。在指导思想上,我国大陆要坚持“两个同样重要”:在现代化国家建设中,社会科学与自然科学同样重要,社会科学研究国际化与本土化同样重要。在社会科学发展规划中要真正确立社会科学研究国际化的战略地位,明确我国社会科学国际化的目标:发表国际论文,做有声的中国,并在这个过程中解决中国的问题是我国社会科学研究国际化的近期目标;相当数量的社会科学家成为世界社会科学共同体的成员是我国社会科学国际化的中期目标;实现社会科学诸学科的国际学术话语权是我国社会科学国际化的长远目标。为了实现这些目标,建议采取以下主要举措:在增加国家社会科学研究经费投入的同时,尽快建立多元经费筹措体制;建设一支具有国际视野和国际竞争力的社会科学研究队伍;努力提高社会科学类期刊的国际化水平;在社会科学研究评价中增加国际化导向;促进社会科学领域的国际交流与合作;加快世界一流大学社会科学学科建设的步伐。本研究的主要创新点为:(1)以SSCI论文为视角对我国大陆社会科学研究国际化程度进行定量研究;(2)系统研究了30年来我国大陆的SSCI论文,并与我国台湾、韩国、日本等部分汉字文化圈的国家或地区进行多指标定量比较研究;(3)提出了我国大陆社会科学研究国际化的近期、中期和远期目标。更多还原

【Abstract】 The internationalization of social science research in the context of globalization while perhaps inevitable has been one of the important trends of social science research in the world as well as an important historical task for contemporary social science in China’s mainland. How then, has the internationalization of Chinese social science research developed in recent years? What are the characteristics of the internationalization of Chinese social science research, as compared with other nearby countries/regions? How can the internationalization of Chinese social science research be sped up in the future? These questions must be addressed as Chinese social science research is internationalized. The study utilizes SSCI (Social Science Citation Index) articles to explore the development and characteristics of internationalization of social science research in China’s mainland in last three decades.The present study analyzes the characteristics SSCI publications from China’s mainland during the period 1978-2007 bibliometrically. The parameters analyzed include publication outputs, institutional productivity, co-authorship, international collaborations, mean impact factor and journal distributions. The results reveal that the number of SSCI articles published by China’s mainland has risen gradually during the period 1978-2007 and that there has been a clear increase in the number of publications in the last decade. The number of articles published by universities and colleges was greater than published by other types of institutions. The percentage of collaborative articles was higher than that of single-authored articles. Also the number of internationally co-authored articles has increased gradually. The content of the articles focuses mainly on the domestic problems of China’s mainland. There were many more articles in the area of economic, business and management than in the other areas.In this study, comparisons are made with China Taiwan and the East Asian countries of Japan and South Korea. The results reveal that there was a considerable increase in publication outputs from China’s mainland between 1978 and 2007, especially during the last decade. The total number of publications from China’s mainland during this period was less than that of Japan and China Taiwan and slightly more than that of South Korea. Moreover, the majority of articles were published by higher education institutions in each country/region, but China’s mainland had the lowest ratio of articles published by higher education institutions of the countries/regions considered. During the period of this study, the rate of publication of co-authored and internationally co-authored articles from China’s mainland increased; similar increases were observed in South Korea, Japan and China Taiwan, although the greatest increase was noted in China’s mainland. Of 11 social science areas, the number of articles in the area of economics, business and management, and the area of psychology were greater than those published in the other 9 social science areas in each country/region. The mean impact factor of articles published by China’s mainland in the areas of educational sciences, law and sociology was the lowest, but the highest in three areas of psychology, information and communication sciences, other social and behavioral sciences and public health and social welfare. The mean impact factor of articles published by Japan was higher in all social science areas. The mean impact factor of articles published by China’s mainland, China Taiwan South Korea and Japan were lower than the mean impact factor in the world in the area of economics, business and management, and in the area of law. In addition, only one social science journal published in China’s mainland was indexed in the SSCI while there were several such journals indexed in Japan, China Taiwan and South Korea during the period of 1978 to 2007.In this study, SSCI articles originating from universities in China’s mainland were analyzed for the period of 1978-2007. The number of SSCI articles published by universities rose gradually during this period and the trend was the similar for the number of internationally co-authored articles published by universities and colleges. Much more SSCI articles were published by Peking universities in various social science areas than all of the other universities in China’s mainland. Compared with universities and colleges in China-Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, there was a considerable increase in the publication output originating from universities within China’s mainland between 1978 and 2007; however the total number was less than those in China Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. For each country/region considered, the majority of articles were published by universities and colleges, with China’s mainland having the lowest proportion of articles published by universities and colleges. Additionally, the rate of internationally co-authored articles of universities in China’s mainland went up just like those in South Korea, Japan and China-Taiwan. The most productive universities in China’s mainland, China-Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea were those that received significant government support.In general, the production of SSCI papers by China’s mainland is not strong, compared with the other countries/regions. Statistics show that Japan performed best in many indicators in this study. So, some possible factors affecting internationalization of Chinese social science research were analyzed, combined with a review of the experience of Japan. For instance, Japan has been paying more attention on the development and the internationalization of social sciences in recent decades. In this study, the method of linear regression and principle component regression are applied to the analysis of the factors affecting the publication of SSCI papers. The results show that GDP per capita, the number of doctoral degrees awarded, the number of researchers in social science and the amount of research funds invested and policies of social science issued by the government are related to the output of SSCI papers and internationalization of social science research. In addition, the national system of research management and evaluation as well as the traditional history and culture have some impact on it as well.Based on the analysis of factors affecting internationalization of Chinese social science research, combined with a review of the experience of Japan and other countries, this study considers the further internationalization of Chinese social science and suggests main strategies. The goal of internationalization should be a focus of the development planning of Chinese social science. In the near future, China must become a voice in social science research and Chinese problems will be solved in this process; in the medium-term, many Chinese social science scientists must engage in the global scientific community; in the long-term, Chinese social science research must expand their expertise into all social science areas. In order to speed up the internationalization of Chinese social science research, more favorable policies fostering and financially supporting international cooperation in the studies of social sciences are expected to be made by the Chinese government. It is expected that Chinese government, universities and researchers will focus more funding and effort on social science research by developing new funding mechanisms; building teams of researchers with open-minded and international competition; internationalizing national journals in social science; reforming the system of management and evaluation; furthering the international cooperation; speeding up the internationalization of higher education and development of social science in world-class universities and so on.更多还原
