Journal subject categorisation is not only a significant foundation for evaluating journal impact and ranking journals but also has become an increasingly important research focus in academia. As the gatekeepers of scholarly journals, editors play a critical role in directing their journal’s subject orientation. In this study, the category of Information Science and Library Science (IS-LS) is reclassified according to editorship information covering research interests, research experience, professional identity, and affiliated departments. Unlike earlier studies using interlocking editorship data, this study utilises the subject-related information of 232 editors to classify 77 IS-LS journals into five categories: Management Information Systems (MIS, 22 journals), Information Science (IS, 14 journals), Library Science (LS, 28 journals), Scientometrics (SM, 3 journals), and “Others” (10 journals). The study concludes that there are descriptive differences in editorship characteristics for the subfields’ journals, such as a size advantage in the editorial team of the majority of MIS journals compared to LIS journals (our LIS category consists of IS, LS, and SM journals). Our technique of journal subject categorisation is novel, making our research meaningful and helpful for editorial team governance of journals, including, in selecting editors with a variety of research focus backgrounds.

基于编辑信息的情报学与图书馆学(IS-LS)期刊主题分类与比较

期刊主题分类不仅是评估期刊影响力和对期刊进行排名的重要基础,而且已经成为学术界越来越重要的研究重点。作为学术期刊的看门人,编辑在指导期刊主题定位方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在这项研究中,信息科学和图书馆学(IS-LS)的类别根据涵盖研究兴趣,研究经验,专业身份和所属部门的编辑信息进行了重新分类。与早期使用连锁编辑数据的研究不同,本研究利用232位编辑者的主题相关信息将77篇IS-LS期刊分为五类:管理信息系统(MIS,22种期刊),信息科学(IS,14种期刊),图书馆科学(LS,28种期刊),科学计量学(SM,3种期刊)和“其他”(10种期刊)。研究得出结论,子领域的期刊在编辑特征上存在描述性差异,例如与LIS期刊相比,大多数MIS期刊的编辑团队在规模上具有优势(我们的LIS类别包括IS,LS和SM期刊) 。我们的期刊主题分类技术是新颖的,这使我们的研究有意义并有助于期刊的编辑团队管理,包括选择具有各种研究重点背景的编辑。例如,大多数MIS期刊与LIS期刊相比(我们的LIS类别包括IS,LS和SM期刊)在编辑团队中具有规模优势。我们的期刊主题分类技术是新颖的,这使我们的研究有意义并有助于期刊的编辑团队管理,包括选择具有各种研究重点背景的编辑。例如,大多数MIS期刊与LIS期刊相比(我们的LIS类别包括IS,LS和SM期刊)在编辑团队中具有规模优势。我们的期刊主题分类技术是新颖的,这使我们的研究有意义并有助于期刊的编辑团队管理,包括选择具有各种研究重点背景的编辑。
