论文摘要
自1970年代中期以来，通过书目计量和科学计量数据的棱镜来衡量和评估国际研究合作的变化以及机构和国家的科学绩效的变化已被备受推崇。空间文献计量学和科学计量学（此后空间科学计量学）传统上专注于研究国家和地区级别。但是，近年来，已经对城市一级进行了许多空间分析。尽管城市级的科学计量分析在政策制定者和统计/经济研究组织中越来越受欢迎，但文献计量学领域的研究人员在是否有可能通过文献计量和科学计量学工具观察空间单位“城市”方面存在分歧。 After systematically scrutinizing relevant studies in the field, three major problems have been identified: 1) there is no standardized method of how cities should be defined and how metropolitan areas should be delineated, 2) there is no standardized method of how bibliometric and scientometric data on the city level should be collected and processed and 3) it is not clearly defined how cities can profit from the results of bibliometric and scientometric analysis focusing on them.本文研究了空间科学计量学之前的主要挑战，重点是城市层面，并提出了一些可能的解决方案。
Since the mid-1970s, it has become highly acknowledged to measure and evaluate changes in international research collaborations and the scientific performance of institutions and countries through the prism of bibliometric and scientometric data. Spatial bibliometrics and scientometrics (henceforward spatial scientometrics) have traditionally focused on examining both country and regional levels; however, in recent years, numerous spatial analyses on the city level have been carried out. While city-level scientometric analyses have gained popularity among policymakers and statistical/economic research organizations, researchers in the field of bibliometrics are divided regarding whether it is possible to observe the spatial unit 'city' through bibliometric and scientometric tools. After systematically scrutinizing relevant studies in the field, three major problems have been identified: 1) there is no standardized method of how cities should be defined and how metropolitan areas should be delineated, 2) there is no standardized method of how bibliometric and scientometric data on the city level should be collected and processed and 3) it is not clearly defined how cities can profit from the results of bibliometric and scientometric analysis focusing on them. This paper investigates major challenges ahead of spatial scientometrics, focusing on the city level and presents some possible solutions.
