Abstrakt
Cel – Celem artykułu jest zademonstrowanie poziomu światowego zainteresowania tematyką bibliotek akademickich, odzwierciedlonego liczbą poświęconych jej artykułów naukowych uwzględnionych w bazie Scopus. Metody badań – W badaniu posłużono się analizą bibliometryczną. W bazie Scopus przeszukano artykuły z obszaru bibliotekoznawstwa i informacji naukowej opublikowane w latach 2013-2022. Jako podstawowych terminów wyszukiwawczych użyto słów opisujących temat badania, uzupełniając je o terminy pomocnicze, dołączane za pomocą operatora boolowskiego AND. Pomocnicze terminy wyszukiwawcze zgromadzono dzięki przeglądowi literatury przed- miotu oraz procesowi badawczemu. Wyniki zebrano w arkuszu kalkulacyjnym MS Excel i dokonano ich oceny na podstawie pytań związanych z prowadzonym badaniem. Podczas analizy ustalono: roczny rozkład artykułów i ich tematykę; listę preferowanych czaso- pism; listę przodujących autorów oraz krajów ich pochodzenia i użytkowanych języków; a także słowa kluczowe stosowane do charakterystyki przedmiotowej artykułów. Wyniki – Przeanalizowano 7870 artykułów. W odniesieniu do zgromadzonych danych ustalono, że średnia arytmetyczna publikowanych artykułów wynosiła 796 tekstów na rok, a media- na – 750. Najwięcej artykułów ukazało się w roku 2021, a najmniej – w 2014. Przeważnie były to teksty poświęcone naukom społecznym. Największą popularnością cieszyło się publikowanie w czasopiśmie “Library Philosophy and Practice” (920 artykułów), a zaraz po nim – na łamach “Journal of Academic Librarianship” (474 artykuły). Odnotowano, że wśród autorów tekstów dominowali naukowcy amerykańscy (39% wszystkich tekstów). Jednocześnie zaobserwowano niedostateczną reprezentację produkcji naukowej z wielu krajów świata, co znacząco utrudnia przeprowadzenie analizy porównawczej. Wnioski – Autorzy wysunęli dość prowokacyjną tezę – być może naukowcy ze słabo reprezentowanych krajów mają problem z przebiciem się przez “szklany sufit”, rozumiany jako liczba utrudnień i barier na drodze do publikowania w wydawnictwach zagranicznych. Autorzy opracowali potencjalną listę takich barier – jej weryfikacja wymaga pogłębionych badań. Niniejsza analiza oferuje podstawy do dalszych badań, a także zasoby do wykorzystania przez naukowców, praktyków i studentów w dziedzinie bibliotekoznawstwa i informacji naukowej.
