本研究目的:進行國內出版的體育學術期刊學術水準之評比。研究方法:以近五年(2003-2007)出版之體育學術期刊,每期刊登體育學術論文二篇以上為納入標準,以過去六年內曾擔任國科會教育學門體育學領域專題研究計畫主持人之體育學者為對象,透過問卷調查方式,建立體育學者對各期刊之主觀評價指標,並透過將納入評比之期刊引用文獻進行內容分析,計算各期刊相互引用次數,建立客觀引用指標。再將此二指標合併計算期刊評比總分,將各期刊總分以群落分析進行分級。結果:符合體育學術期刊納入標準者計有25本,問卷調查回收145份,回收率62.77%。群落分析共將體育學術期刊分成三級,第一級有5本,第二級13本,第三級7本。大專體育學刊、體育學報、台灣運動心理學報、中華體育、以及台灣體育運動管理學報在此次評比中被列為第一級期刊。結論:此次期刊評比之分級結果顯示國內體育學術期刊之發展已逐步趨近國際體育學術期刊,亦即朝著單一領域期刊更受重視的趨勢發展,這可以從此次評比結果看到除了傳統之大專體育學刊、體育學報與中華體育等三大綜合性期刊之評比維持較高等級之外,像台灣運動心理學報與台灣體育運動管理學報也獲得高度評價,是否其他單領域期刊在未來的評比也會更受重視?是一個值得未來持續追蹤研究的問題。
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ranking of Taiwan's physical education journals. A minimum of 2 academic papers in each issue of a physical education journal has been included in the criteria for evaluation. A subjective evaluation index was conducted by questionnaire survey those who were awarded physical education research grant from the National Science Council in the last 6 years (2002-2007). Citation index was determined by calculating the number of citations in the journals. The two indices were then integrated to form the final score for cluster analysis. The results showed that a total of 25 journals meet the inclusion criteria. One hundred and forty five questionnaires were returned, a 62.77% return rate. Three categories of journals were found by the cluster analysis. Among these five journals namely, the Journal of Physical Education in Higher Education, the Physical Education Journal, the Bulletin of Sport and Exercise Psychology of Taiwan, the Chinese Journal of Physical Education, and the Journal of Taiwan Society for Sport Management were rated in the first category. There were 13 and 7 journals in the second and third categories, respectively. These results suggest that the development of local physical education journals is parallel to that of international journals. The journals with single disciplinary focus are gaining weight in academia. This trend was manifested by the emerging top ranking journals such as the Bulletin of Sport and Exercise Psychology of Taiwan and the Journal of Taiwan Society for Sport Management.
