分析1926篇论文,揭示开放街图研究的演进与未来方向
A Deep Dive into OpenStreetMap Research Since its Inception (2008-2024): Contributors, Topics, and Future Trends
- 通过文献计量学分析1926篇论文与782场会议报告
- 发现研究主题从数据质量转向高级分析与应用
- 提出六条新方向,适合地理信息与跨领域研究者参考
OpenStreetMap (OSM) 已从早期的志愿地理信息(VGI)项目发展为全球多学科研究枢纽。本研究对2008至2024年6月期间的1,926篇Web of Science(WoS)核心合集论文及782场State of the Map(SotM)会议报告进行文献计量与系统分析,量化了出版增长、合作模式与主题演变。结果表明该领域呈现稳定核心与多元发展的双重趋势:尽管核心贡献者保持稳定,研究主题已从数据生产与质量转向高级分析与实际应用。对比分析显示,学术界与开源社区在研究议程上存在差异但互为补充。基于此,本文识别出六个新兴研究方向,并探讨学术界、社区与产业间日益紧密的合作将如何塑造未来。数据与代码已公开于 https://github.com/ya0-sun/OSMbib。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
OpenStreetMap (OSM) has transitioned from a pioneering volunteered geographic information (VGI) project into a global, multi-disciplinary research nexus. This study presents a bibliometric and systematic analysis of the OSM research landscape, examining its development trajectory and key driving forces. By evaluating 1,926 publications from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and 782 State of the Map (SotM) presentations up to June 2024, we quantify publication growth, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution. Results demonstrate simultaneous consolidation and diversification within the field. While a stable core of contributors continues to anchor OSM research, themes have shifted from initial concerns over data production and quality toward advanced analytical and applied uses. Comparative analysis of OSM-related research in WoS and SotM reveals distinct but complementary agendas between scholars and the OSM community. Building on these findings, we identify six emerging research directions and discuss how evolving partnerships among academia, the OSM community, and industry are poised to shape the future of OSM research. This study establishes a structured reference for understanding the state of OSM studies and offers strategic pathways for navigating its future trajectory.The data and code are available at https://github.com/ya0-sun/OSMbib.
