运用文献计量学的方法,选用2002~2009年《茶叶科学》中刊载论文共458篇,重点从载文内容、载文量的时间分布、作者群的地域和所属单位分布、核心作者群的数量、论文作者的合著率及高被引论文分布等方面进行统计分析,得出《茶叶科学》近8年发展的一些规律,即载文量增加,载文信息增大,论文作者涉及地域、单位极不平衡,核心作者群已形成,作者合作意识较强,合著率高;同时发现了一些存在的问题,并提出相应的解决办法,为《茶叶科学》的进一步发展提供依据。

A survey of 458 papers published in Journal of Tea Science during 2002 to 2009 is reported in this paper. The scope, the research laboratory, organization, main author, geographical distribution, timing of publication, co-authorship and high citation distribution are statistically investigated by using biblio-metrical method. Results showed that the rationality of the filed in the past 8 years was confirmed. The quality of the papers published was significantly improved; the core-authors for it were formed and the co-writer's rate was high. Some questions were been found through this study at the same time, and some solutions and outlooks were put forward.
