术语“Bibliometrics”的起源要追溯到本世纪20年代,1922年英国专利局的情报专家休姆(E.Wyndham Hulme)先后两次在英国剑桥大学作关于目录学的讲演,首先使用了Statistical Bibliography这一名词。1923年讲演稿出版,定名为“Statistical Biblio-graphy in Relation to the Growth of ModernCiviliZation”。从此Statistical Bibliography正式在文献中出现,一系列有关计量文献的定律也相继问世。 The origins of the term “Bibliometrics” date back to the 1920s. In 1922, E. Wyndham Hulme, an intelligence expert at the United Kingdom Patent Office, made two lectures on bibliography at the University of Cambridge, England, first using Statistical Bibliography A noun 1923 Lecture publication, entitled “Statistical Biblio-graphy in Relation to the Growth of Modern CiviliZation”. Since then, Statistical Bibliography has been formally published in the literature. A series of laws governing the measurement of literature have been published one after another.
