摘要: 基于长周期、大规模的学术成果发表数据,从比较优势视角探究全球社会科学的发展路径,为探索科学发展规律提供了新的理论视角,也为我国构建社会科学的学术话语权体系提供了科学依据。本研究借鉴比较优势与产品空间理论,利用全球各国在2001—2022年间于Web of Science数据库发表的380万余篇SSCI论文数据,量化全球各国的学科比较优势及学科密度,实证探索全球社会科学发展的路径,在此基础上,进一步分析中国社会科学在省域层面的学科布局。结果表明,全球社会科学的发展路径遵循比较优势,在改变计数规则和采用论文层面的被引频次、期刊层面的影响因子和学科层面的h指数对论文质量进行控制后,结果仍保持稳健;中国社会科学省域层面的优势学科分布具有明显的空间集聚现象,主要分布于京津冀、长三角和川渝圈;各省域的潜在比较优势的学科分布具有明显差异。

Abstract: Based on long-term and large-scale academic publication data, this study explored the developmental paths of global social sciences from the perspective of revealed comparative advantage, offering a new theoretical lens for exploring the laws of scientific development and providing a robust scientific basis for strengthening China's academic discourse power in the social sciences. This study applies revealed comparative advantage and product space theories, using data from over 3.8 million SSCI papers published by countries worldwide in the Web of Science database from 2001 to 2022. We quantify the revealed comparative advantage and disciplinary density of global social sciences and empirically examine the development paths of these disciplines. Additionally, we analyze the provincial-level disciplinary distribution of China’s social sciences. The results reveal that global social sciences exhibit inequality, although this inequality has declined over time. Furthermore, the development paths of social sciences align with the principle of revealed comparative advantage. After adjusting for counting rules and controlling for paper quality using article-level citation frequency, journal-level impact factors, and discipline-level h-index, the results remain robust. Moreover, social sciences at the provincial level in China show clear spatial concentration, with dominant disciplines primarily located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. Significant regional differences are observed in the distribution of disciplines with potential revealed comparative advantage.
