近年来全球传统科学史研究的态势——基于《爱西斯》的《文献目录》的文献计量分析

Abstract

本文对近年来《爱西斯》的《文献目录》的有关部分进行计量分析后认为:传统科学史虽不是科学史研究的主流,却是全球科学史事业不容忽视的组成部分;在各文化背景的科学史方面,东亚科学史、古希腊和罗马科学史、西方中世纪科学史、阿拉伯-伊斯兰科学史和印度科学史是传统科学史研究主流,前三者是大热门;学科史是传统科学史研究的主体,在此方面,天文学史、医学史、数学史、思想史和技术史是传统科学史研究的主流,前二者是大热门;五大主流学科史也是各大文化背景科学史的主流;在非主流方面,通史研究、科学与宗教的关系研究是局部的热点。

Having analyzed bibliometrically the relevant part of Isis Current Bibliography in recent years,the paper made the following conclusions:The study on tradional history of science,while not mainstream,is an indispensable part of global cause of history of science;Regarding the culture contexts,history of East Asian science,history of Greek and Roman science,history of Western medieval science,the history of Arab-Islamic science and history of Indian science are the mainstream of the history of traditional science,while the former three are the favorite;From the point of scientific disciplines,histories of astronomy,medicine,mathematics,ideas and technology are the mainstream,while the former two the favorites;the five histories are also the mainsteams of the history of science of all culture contexts.In the non-mainstream,research on the general history and the relations between science and religion are partially hot.
