我国社科信息理论与方法研究始于20世纪70年代,并是在紧密联系社科信息实践基础上而逐步发展起来的。由于社科信息具有自身的研究对象、内容、特点、活动规律和运动形式及其本质属性,其研究范围及功能、作用等也皆区别于其它情报学的分支学科,经过近30年的理论探索与实践积累,其学科建设已由理论与方法的引进、探索学科“立学”的前科学阶段向理论自觉阶段发展,逐步形成了社科信息学科自身的理论构架和理论体系,并与其它分支学科的学术边界区分更加明晰,已成为科学情报的一门分支学科而独树一帜。同时建立了本学科的研究机构、学术团体、研究队伍,出版了包括构筑学科理论体系的《社会科学情报理论与方法》在内的 The research on the theory and method of social science information in our country began in the 1970s and developed gradually with the close contact with the practice of social science information. As social science information has its own research object, content, characteristics, rules and forms of movement and its essential attributes, its scope of study and its function, role are also different from other branches of information science, after nearly 30 years of theoretical exploration With the accumulation of practice, the discipline construction has been introduced by theory and method, and the pre-science phase of the subject “learning” has been explored to the stage of theoretical self-consciousness. Gradually formed its theoretical framework and theoretical system of social science information, Discipline academic boundaries more clearly distinguish, has become a branch of scientific intelligence and unique. At the same time established the discipline research institutions, academic groups, research teams, published, including the establishment of the theoretical system of the theory of “social science intelligence theory and method”, including
