分析图书馆学领域合作者的性别差异,发现女性学者研究主题与方法更不集中。
Gender Differences in Research Topic and Method Convergence among Collaborating Scholars in Library and Information Science
- 用Top2Vec和CogFT模型分析2.5万篇论文中的研究主题与方法
- 女性学者在主题和方法上的选择比男性更分散,收敛度更低
- 为跨学科研究性别差异提供可复用的方法框架
本研究探讨了合作研究中学者的性别差异在研究主题与方法选择上的表现。以往研究多聚焦于个体层面的性别差异,忽视了合作群体的影响,缺乏深度与实践指导意义。以图书馆与信息科学(LIS)为例,采用Top2Vec方法识别研究主题,CogFT模型分类研究方法,系统分析1990至2022年间发表的25,204篇论文,考察该领域合作学者在研究主题与方法选择上的收敛性差异。结果表明,女性学者在研究主题与方法上的选择收敛度显著低于男性学者。研究提出了一套相对系统的方法,应对学术出版中性别差异研究的挑战,未来可为其他学科提供参考。同时揭示了合作研究中性别差异的表现形式,为理解研究主题与方法的多样性与趋同性提供了新视角。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study explores gender differences in research topic choice and methodology among collaborating scholars. Previous studies have often focused on gender differences in research topics or methods at the individual level of scholars, without considering collaborating groups, lacking depth and practical guidance. This study takes Library and Information Science (LIS) as an example, employing the Top2Vec method for topic identification and the CogFT model for research method classification. It systematically analyzes 25,204 papers published between 1990 and 2022 to investigate gender differences in the convergence of research topics and method choices among collaborating scholars in this field. The results of the study found that female scholars showed lower convergence in their research methods and topic choices compared to male scholars. This study uses a relatively systematic methodology to address the difficulty of studying gender differences in academic publishing, and is expected to serve as a reference for other disciplines and research questions. This study also emphasizes the manifestation of gender differences in collaborative research and provides insights into the convergence and diversity of research topics and methods chosen by scholars.
