Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the bibliometric study of journal articles in Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) related to outsourcing library functions, including publication trends from 1994 to 2015, core journals, authorship and citing articles used for librarians and researchers to have a basic reference of relevant resources. Design/methodology/approach The methodology consisted of journal article searches in SSCI with 1994-2015 as the date limiter. The search terms came from the topic of outsourcing to the topic of library by using the Boolean operator; and results were used in the Web of Science (WOS) database based on pre-determined categories and were evaluated based on the five research questions about core journals, authorship and citing articles. Findings The findings were based on the five research questions evaluated in the bibliometric study. There were 55 articles published on the topics of outsourcing and library authored by 80 individuals between 1994 and 2015. In the 55 articles analyzed, there were 24 different journals represented with 150 times cited. Originality/value This study takes the bibliometric analysis approach, which has rarely been used on the topics of outsourcing and library articles with the specific focus on library finance issues. It provides a foundation for further research on the topic as well as resources to be used by librarians and researchers.

外包图书馆职能:SSCI文献计量学研究
本文的目的是对SSCI中与外包图书馆职能相关的期刊文章进行文献计量学研究,包括1994 - 2015年的出版趋势、核心期刊、作者和被引文章,为图书馆员和研究人员提供相关资源的基本参考。设计/方法/方法该方法包括SSCI期刊文章检索,以1994-2015年为日期限制。使用布尔运算符将搜索项从外包主题转换为图书馆主题;并将结果按照预先确定的分类录入Web of Science (WOS)数据库,根据核心期刊、作者和被引文章的5个研究问题进行评价。研究结果基于文献计量学研究中评估的五个研究问题。1994年至2015年间,80人撰写了55篇关于外包和图书馆主题的文章。在分析的55篇文章中,有24种不同的期刊被引用了150次。独创性/价值本研究采用文献计量分析方法,这种方法很少用于研究外包和图书馆文章的主题,并特别关注图书馆财务问题。它为进一步研究这一主题提供了基础,也为图书馆员和研究人员提供了资源。
