ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS ON ORGANIZATION STUDIES IN NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE, AND JAPAN BY BIBLIOMETRIC APPROACH : LITERATURE RESEARCH AND DATABASE CONSTRUCTION

在本研究中，我们参考了通过文献计量学技术对北美和欧洲组织研究的定量数据进行调查的研究结果。我们的研究目标之一是发现欧洲、北美和日本各个时代组织研究的内容、主题、重点、方法论、价值体系、方向等的合理性。换句话说，我们将调查这些国家和地区在北美、欧洲和日本（包括英国）的一系列著名组织研究期刊上发表的文章中所引用的参考文献的特殊性和相似性。对于文明和社会不同的国家和地区，研究的范式和方法自然会有所不同。如果这是正确的，我们将能够认识到日本组织研究方法和内容的合理性。在我们之前的研究中，我们发现北美和欧洲的组织研究方法在不断重复分化和转换：一种特定的范式因新方法的诞生而多样化，或者多样化的方法向一种特定的范式趋同。北美的三个研究小组和欧洲的四个研究小组正朝着趋同或融合的方向取得进展，另一方面，许多新的范式也将诞生。我们开始在Excel中输入日本最著名的组织研究学术期刊《组织科学》从1967年（第1-1卷）到2003年（第36-3卷）发表的961篇（142号）论文的作者姓名、研究机构、职位动向、关键词、参考文献、注释等所有数据。在《组织科学》上发表的文章作者多为日本人。因此，《华尔街日报》的合理性远远高于北美和欧洲。该期刊发表的非日文文章仅占全部文章的3%左右。另一方面，日本研究人员的非日本文献被引频次较高是其特点。此外，在期刊上发表论文5次以上的作者占总数的27.0%。不用说，这篇文章在期刊上发表的频率和它被其他研究人员引用的频率之间存在高度的相互关系（ρ=0.77）。少

In this study, we referred to research results by the bibliometric technique that surveyed quantitative data on organization studies in North America and Europe. One of our research objectives is to discover the rationality of content, subject matter, emphatic point, methodology, value system, direction and so on of organization studies of each era of Europe, North America, and Japan. In other words, we are going to investigate peculiarity and similarity of those countries and regions among cited references reported in articles published by a series of famous organization study journals of North America, Europe, and Japan (including England).For those countries and regions differing in civilization and society, it is natural that paradigm and methodology of studies should differ. If it is right, we will be able to recognize the rationality of methods and contents of Japanese organization studies of Japan.In our preceding researches, we found that research methods of organization studie … More s of North America and Europe repeat divergence and conversion : a specific paradigm is diversified by the birth of a new approach or the diversified approaches converge on a specific paradigm. Three research groups in North America and four research groups in Europe are making progress in the directions of convergence or integration, on the other hand, a lot of new paradigm are going to be born.We started in input into Excel all data on author's name, research institution, tide of position, key words, references and notes of 961 papers (142 numbers), from 1967 (Vol.1-1;first issue) to 2003 (Vol.36-3), published in "Organizational Science," the most famous academic journal of organization study in Japan.Most of article's writers published in "Organizational Science" were Japanese. Therefore, the Journal's rationality is extremely higher than it of North America and Europe.The percentage which number of article of non-Japanese published by the journal occupies is only approximately 3% of the whole. On the other hand, it is characteristic that percentage of times cited of non-Japanese literature of Japanese researchers is relatively high. In addition, the writers published papers more than five times in the journals occupied 27.0% of the whole. And, needless to say, there was high interrelation between the frequency that article was published in the journal and the frequency that it was quoted by another researchers (ρ=0.77). Less
