Visual Analysis Based on the Data of Chinese Surveying and Mapping Journals

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Taking four influential Chinese surveying and mapping journals as the data source, 5863 papers published during the period of 2003-2013 were obtained. Using the method of bibliometrics and visual analysis, summarizing the surveying and mapping papers in the past ten years (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013), research themes, authors, and geographical distribution were analyzed. In the study, the papers of geodesy, cartography and GIS are 59.9%, more than half of all the papers. We also determine that the core author group has 131 authors, mainly of whom are from big cities. 90% of top ten cities on the number of publishing papers are capital cities or municipalities directly under the central government.In conclusion, we found that the research focus was different every year, and the research content was richness, the content of geodesy, cartography and GIS were widely researched, and the development of surveying and mapping is imbalanced in China.

La situación de la producción científica latinoamericana en el área de la Ciencia de Información Geográfica

“…• Tian et al (2008) Tian et al (2008) para el período previo 1997-2006 y con los resultados actualizados que se presentarán más adelante. • Por último, y en un trabajo que podría considerarse como de ámbito regional (haciéndolo comparable con el presente) Li et al (2016) analizan la producción china en cuatro revistas nacionales de topografía, geodesia, y áreas afines para el período 2003-2013. Del análisis de los 5 863 artículos con participación de 5 822 autores resulta que el 59% de los trabajos son del área Cartografía, Geodesia o SIG.…”

Bibliometric Mapping of Papers on Geographical Information Systems (2007-2016)

“…Wei, Grubesic and Bishop (2015) mapped the GIS literature from 2002 to 2013, and Liu et al (2016) extended the analysis period from 1961 to 2010. Li, Liu, Guo and Yu (2016) used bibliometrics to analyze the evolution of GIS in China. Li et al (2017) used bibliometrics to analyze the evolution of geo-ontological thinking.…”
