摘要

本研究旨在探討臺灣與日本兩地1991年至2002年間圖書資訊學研究之特性與發展情形，以內容分析法分析12年間臺灣出版之26種圖書資訊學專業期刊，共2,016篇研究性論文，以及日本出版之43種期刊，共1,283篇論文，並比較臺灣與日本分析結果的異同。研究結果發現，兩地的圖書資訊學研究在文獻成長、文獻內容特性、作者特性三方面皆呈現顯著的差異，相同或相似之處並不多。
在文獻成長方面，臺灣的文獻數量較日本多，且呈現顯著的成長趨勢，日本則無增加的現象。在內容特性方面，主要的研究主題均為「圖書資訊技術」，但次要研究主題則相異；探討各類型圖書館的期刊論文比例相近，公共圖書館及大學圖書館為最常探討的圖書館類型；最常探討的資料類型均為電子資料，但比例上有顯著差異；探討其他學術領域的比例有差異，臺灣以探討社會科學領域為主，日本則以生物醫農及人文學領域居多；探討的國別亦有差異，臺灣對亞洲國家的探討多於日本，日本對歐洲國家的研究則較臺灣多；網際網路對於兩地的研究均產生影響，且對臺灣的影響較為顯著；常使用的研究方法為文獻探討、概念分析，以及文件分析，但比例上有顯著差異；日本使用統計的情形較為普遍，但使用敘述統計與推論統計的比例與臺灣相較有顯著差異。
在作者特性方面，臺灣圖書資訊學領域作者人數雖較日本少，但作者生產力較高；合著情形則以日本較為普遍，且合著者人數較多；兩地的作者性別比例有顯著差異，臺灣為女性多於男性，日本則為男性多於女性；作者均以大學教師為主，其次為圖書館員，但學生、其他身分作者的比例分布有顯著差異。

The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics and developments of Library and Information Science (LIS) research of Taiwan and Japan from 1991 to 2002. To make a comparison between Taiwan and Japan, a total of 2,016 research articles from 26 LIS journals published in Taiwan, and 1,283 research articles from 41 journals published in Japan were obtained for content analysis. The findings show that the LIS researches in Taiwan and Japan were significantly different in the aspects of literature growth, content characteristics, and authorship characteristics.
In the aspect of literature growth, more research articles were published in Taiwan than in Japan, showing obvious growth trend. However, research articles in Japan did not increase by year.
The findings on content characteristics are as follows:
1. The major research subjects of Taiwan and Japan were both “Library and Information Technology”, but others were different.
2. Percentages of articles about libraries were similar. The most frequently discussed library types were Public Library and Academic Library.
3. The most frequently discussed media types were both Electronic Media, but percentages were significantly different.
4. Percentages of articles about discipline were different. Social Science was mainly concerned in Taiwan. In contrast, Medicine, Agricultural and Biological Science and Arts and Humanities were mainly concerned in Japan.
5. Percentages of articles about countries were also different. Asian countries were more concerned in Taiwan than in Japan. However, European countries were more concerned in Japan.
6. The development of the Internet had influences on LIS researches both in Taiwan and Japan, but had more obvious influence on Taiwan.
7. The most frequently used research methods were Literature Review, Concept Analysis, and Document Analysis, but percentages were different.
8. Japan's LIS researches used statistics more often than Taiwan did, but percentages of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were different.
In the aspect of authorship characteristics, Taiwan's LIS authors had higher productivity, although there were fewer authors in Taiwan. However, co-authorship was more common in Japan, and had more co-authors per article. The percentages of author's genders in Taiwan and Japan were significantly different. There were more female authors in Taiwan, but more male authors in Japan. With respect to the author's occupations, most of them were university professors, and the second were librarians. However, the percentages of student authors and others were significantly different.
