摘　　要：普赖斯是科学史与科学的定量研究的重要先驱人物之一,被誉为科学计量学之父。他创造性地提出了"大科学"的概念,倡导科学人文学以及"科学的科学",使科学的社会研究经受了一场革命,同时天才地发现了科学发展指数增长定律以及科学文献中的各种规律,为科学计量学的诞生奠定了基础。普赖斯运用他自己所言的数学式的古巴比伦思维与自由理性的古希腊思维,跨越甚至无视学术领域间的界限,以其卓越的研究实践证实了科学与人文之间并非是"两点间最长的直线"。As one of the precursors of the history of science and quantitative measures of science, Derek John de Solla Price is credited as the father of scientometrics. By creatively proposing the concept of Big Science and advocating the humanities of science and science of science, he revolutionized the social studies of science. In the mean time, he laid the foundation for scientometrics by discovering the exponential growth of science and many laws in scientific documents. Price combined mathematical thinking with logical analysis of ancient Babylon and Greece, crossed the boundary of academic fields, and with his excellent research and practice,proved the possibility of the integration between science and humanities.
