1981~2021年间《地理科学》载文的图表使用偏好特征:地理学视角
Preference Characteristics in the Use of Figures and Tables in Articles Published in Scientia Geographica Sinica between 1981 and 2021: A Geographical Perspective
摘要: 科学研究的有效交流对于知识的最佳积累和转移至关重要,图表被认为是分析、解释和表示科学数据、传递和呈现信息的有效视觉表示方法。本文从中国知网上共搜集了4669篇《地理科学》建刊以来(1981.01~2021.09)的载文,从中析出与图表使用相关的指标,分析图表的使用情况。结果表明:1) 图表使用在不同学科、地域以及作者属性上均存在差异,图和表等数据视觉展示效果受到学科、地域以及作者属性差异的影响,地理学学科内部不同子学科之间呈现出自然科学–人文科学学科连续体上所具有的数据视觉呈现特征,学科硬度梯度上的视觉感知与范式发展之间存在着强烈的正相关关系。2) 人文和经济地理学图表使用偏好在时间渐变特征上某种程度上契合和承继了社会学定量研究中数据视觉呈现的潜在规则,同时,更大程度上也接受着地理学大学科研究范式的同化和影响,很好地体现了宏数据地理展示的学科特色。3) 地理学不同子学科使用图表与它们的学科“硬度”具有很好的相关性,《地理科学》载文图表使用与学科硬度相关性结果可以为认识科地理学的学科层次结构提供重要的地理学角度和线索。4) 基于地理学视角的不同载文图表使用偏好特征的研究有利于科学数据视觉呈现效果的评价。
Abstract: The effective exchange of scientific research is essential for the optimal accumulation and transfer of knowledge. Graphs and tables are considered to be an effective visual representation method for analyzing, interpreting and representing scientific data, transmitting and presenting information. This paper collects 4669 the articles published in Scientia Geographica Sinica (1981.01~2021.09) from CNKI, extracts the indicators related to the use of graphs and tables, and analyzes the use of graphs and tables. The results show that: 1) there are differences in the use of graphs and tables in different disciplines, regions and author attributes. The visual display effect of data such as graphs and tables is affected by the differences of disciplines, regions and author attributes. The data visual presentation characteristics of the continuum of natural science and humanities are presented among different sub disciplines within the discipline of geography. There is a strong positive correlation between visual perception and paradigm development. 2) The use preference of graphs and tables in human and economic geography agrees with and inherits the potential rules of visual presentation of data in sociological quantitative research to some extent. At the same time, it is also assimilated and influenced by the research paradigm of geography to a greater extent. It well reflects the discipline characteristics of macro data geographic display. 3) There is a good correlation between the use of graphs and tables in different sub disciplines of geography and their “hardness”. The results of the correlation between the use of graphs and tables in geography and discipline hardness can provide important geographical perspectives and clues for understanding the discipline hierarchy of subject geography. 4) The research on the preference characteristics of the use of graphs and tables from the perspective of geography is conducive to the evaluation of the visual presentation effect of scientific data.
