Survey Of Research Methods Application In Information Science Research

It is a necessary condition for future development of information science to apply research methods appropriately, in order to reveal the trends of research methods in information science in china in recent years, as well as information science research methods may be relevant factors, this paper choose "Journal of The China Society For Science and Technical Information" And "Journal of Information Theory and Practice" 2005 to 2009 as the source of data analyzed, firstly studies methods of intelligence and information science topics and the properties of the classification, and then analysis the application of research methods one by one which fouce on the theme, time and writer.The results show that the theory of information science research methods in the proportion of occupied heavier, but the growing trend of scientific method with the information science research specialized method growing;network and computer applications is becoming more and more important in Information Science. Most writer of information science is come from universities and research units, and with the increasingly development of computer and information science, a lot of researcher come from computer science is joining in intelligence research.
