摘要学科交叉融合的不断发展使学科自身独特性逐渐被弱化,而独特性是体现学科本质和内涵的重要特征,这对于学科守正拓展创新具有重要意义。本研究提出一种新的指标学科区分能力来对学科内容的差异性进行测度,以分析学科的独特性和交叉性特征。以人文社会学科为例,采用2019年23个学科的题录数据对学科区分能力进行测度,并结合基于PCA(principal component analysis)和ADV(angle-distance based visualization)的空间可视化对学科之间的差异性进行分析。基于此,对比分析学科区分能力与交叉指标的优劣性及相关性,并采用学科互引网络对其区分能力进行验证,探讨学科交叉程度对区分能力的影响。本研究表明,学科区分能力能够很好地测度学科内容差异性;所提出的ADV可视化方法能够准确刻画学科差异性特征;学科区分能力与交叉指标具有相关性,可以互为补充;学科交叉程度对学科区分能力具有消极影响,交叉程度越深,其区分能力就越弱,反之越强。
