当前,我国情报事业以及情报学的研究,正处在一个突飞猛进的发展时期。回顾二十多年来所走过的道路,对我们研究情报学的发生、发展以及趋势必有益处。本文试图通过对历年情报学研究的文献量的定量分析来达到这一目的。我们对建国以来至1980年在115种期刊上发表的有关情报学文献进行了统计。其中有的是非专业期刊,共发表了2800篇文献。各年的文献量分布如图1所示。总的来看,我国情报学的研究大致经历了三个阶段(详见表1)。一第一阶段(1956～1966年)是情报学产生和初步发展阶段。情报学是研究科技情报工作规律(主要是情报传递的理论、方法、原理)的一门学科。它是随着情报工作的产生、发展而产生发展的,并受到情报工作发展水平的制约;情报学的研究又反过来推动着情报工作的发展。所以研究情报学的发生 At present, the research on China's information industry and information science is at a period of rapid development. Looking back over the course of more than two decades has benefited us in the study of the occurrence, development and trend of information science. This article attempts to achieve this by quantitative analysis of the literature volume of information science research over the years. We have made statistics on the informatics literature published in 115 journals since 1980. Some of them are non-professional journals, a total of 2,800 articles were published. The amount of literature in each year is shown in Figure 1. In general, the research on China's information science has generally gone through three stages (see Table 1 for details). The first phase (1956 ~ 1966) is the stage of information science generation and initial development. Information science is a discipline that studies the law of scientific and technological intelligence (mainly the theory, method and principle of information transmission). It develops with the generation and development of intelligence work and is restricted by the development level of intelligence work. The research of intelligence science in turn promotes the development of intelligence work. So study the occurrence of information science
