ANALYSIS OF THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND EMPIRICAL RESEARCH IN THE JOURNAL OF REGIONAL SCIENCE*
研究了《区域科学杂志》中理论、方法和实证类文章对后续引用的影响，发现理论引用和实证引用的时间分布可能表明知识扩散过程存在分割。
ABSTRACT. This paper examines the impacts of JRS articles in the areas of theory, methods and empirical analysis, as represented by subsequent citations reported in the Social Sciences Citation Index . A model relating the mix of theoretical, methodological and empirical research published in the JRS to subsequent citations is estimated. The time distribution of theoretical and empirical citations also indicates that the knowledge diffusion process in these two areas may be segmented.
