目前编辑学界对编辑学研究的对象，主要有三种观点：一是以信息、知识为对象，二是由信息组成的消息和知识为对象，三是以出版中或传媒中的一种专业工作为对象。这三种对象，都存在着不同程度的偏差。分析信息、知识和编辑活动的内涵和本质，经抽象概括，编辑学的研究对象应是包括专业和非专业编辑工作在内的编辑活动。也就是外载知识的智化加工及其规律和方法。 At present, there are mainly three kinds of views on the object of editorial study in editorial circles: one is on information and knowledge; the other is on the information and knowledge consisting of information; and the other is on the basis of a professional job in publishing or in media Object These three kinds of objects, there are varying degrees of bias. Analyzing the connotation and essence of information, knowledge and editing activities, abstractly summarized, editorship should focus on editorial activities, including professional and non-professional editorial work. That is, knowledge-based external processing and its processing methods and methods.
