Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influences and interrelationships between journals of library and information science in Taiwan, in terms of information flow. Eleven Chinese journals and 2,031 articles during from 2001 to 2012 have been selected as subject and an 11 × 11 matrix was generated to conduct journal-to-journal analysis. Several bibliometric indicators proposed by Xhignesse and Osgood [16] have been examined, including indegree, outdegree, sending-receiving and self-feeding ratios. Degree and betweenness centrality of social network analysis have also employed to investigate the central and brokerage position of eleven journals in terms of network structure. In addition to overall structured analysis of twelve years, this study has furthering separated 12 years into three individual periods of four years to conduct a both synchronic and diachronic journal-to-journal citation analysis. Finally, this study discussed the implications and limitation of this study for Chinese journals of library and information science in Taiwan.
