Abstract:
Chinese scholars\' performance in international academic community and research on foreign archaeology has brought hot discussion about the internationalization of Chinese archaeology. Based on the databases of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Web of Science core collection (WoS), this paper collected archaeology-related papers published by Chinese scholars in Chinese and world core journals (CCJs and WCJs for short), then filtered translated and original articles about foreign archaeology in CCJs, as well as all original archaeological articles in WCJs. Using Excel, CiteSpace and VOSviewer visualization software, we analyzed these data to give a bird\'s-eye view of how archaeology research in Mainland China has become internationalized. Chinese archaeology has seen active-interrupt-active phases characterized by learning from foreign academics in the last century. Over the past two decades, the number of articles published in WCJs by scholars from Mainland China has increased significantly, and most research topics are at the forefront of international scholarship. Collaboration networks largely expanded, with the number of Mainland China-led articles increasing significantly. Archaeological papers written by researchers from Mainland China have appeared in a more extensive range of journals, including those with high impact factors. However, articles related to joint Sino-foreign archaeological projects were mostly published in CCJs. The archaeology-related articles published by Chinese scholars in WCJs occupied only a small proportion of all archaeological articles in WCJs. Compared to articles in CCJs, the number of those published by Chinese scholars in WCJs is a drop in the ocean. Therefore the internationalization is not yet a dominant trend and with the introduction of the new inward-looking policy we need more time to observe where the trends of internationalization and localization in Chinese archaeology are heading.
摘要:
中国学者在国际学术界的表现和对国外考古学的研究带来了关于中国考古学国际化的热议。基于中国国家知识基础设施(CNKI)和WebofScience核心收藏(WoS)的数据库,本文收集了中国学者在中国和世界核心期刊(简称CCJ和WCJ)上发表的与考古学有关的论文,然后过滤了CCJ中关于外国考古学的翻译和原创文章,以及WCJs中的所有原始考古文章。使用Excel,CiteSpace和VOSviewer可视化软件,我们分析了这些数据,以鸟瞰中国大陆的考古学研究如何国际化。在上个世纪,中国考古学经历了主动-中断-主动阶段,其特征是向外国学者学习。在过去的二十年里,来自中国大陆的学者在WCJs上发表的文章数量显着增加,大多数研究主题都处于国际奖学金的最前沿。合作网络大大扩展,随着中国大陆主导的文章数量大幅增加。中国大陆研究人员撰写的考古论文出现在更广泛的期刊上,包括那些具有高影响因素的。然而,与中外考古联合项目有关的文章大多发表在CCJ上。中国学者在WCJ上发表的与考古学有关的文章仅占WCJ所有考古学文章的一小部分。与CCJ中的文章相比,中国学者在WCJs上发表的论文数量是沧海一粟。因此,国际化还不是主导趋势,随着新的内向型政策的出台,我们需要更多的时间来观察中国考古学的国际化和本地化趋势。
