摘　　要：[目的/意义]研究方法的发展能在一定程度上反映学科的发展。目前鲜有针对中国整体人文社科领域研究方法使用的调研。对该领域不同学科研究方法的使用情况进行比较,可以揭示不同学科研究方法应用的特点,并为相关学者进行课题研究提供研究方法的使用建议。[方法/过程]与一般期刊论文相比,中国人文社科领域的博士学位论文中的研究方法通常会在特定的小节被明确阐述,便于提取分析。文章基于人文社科领域21个一级学科共63741篇博士学位论文,构建研究方法分类框架,抽取论文使用的研究方法,并从研究方法的使用频次、时间演化以及学科相关度角度进行深入分析。[结果/结论]中国人文社科领域研究方法命名存在不规范的问题,但方法意识正逐渐增强;比较分析法、历史分析法、文献研究法等经典的数据分析方法仍占主导地位;多数热门研究方法在人文社科领域不同学科之中存在一定的普适性。[Purpose/significance]The development of research methods can reflect the advancement of disciplines to some extent.Currently,there are few studies on the use of research methods in Chinese humanities and social sciences as a whole.By comparing the usage of research methods in different disciplines within this field,it is possible to reveal the characteristics of their application and provide research method recommendations for scholars engaged in related research projects.[Method/process]In comparison to general journal articles,the research methods in PhD dissertations within the field of humanities and social sciences in China are usually explicitly outlined in specific sections,facilitating extraction and analysis.This study is based on a total of 63741 PhD dissertations across 21 primary disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.We constructed a framework for classifying research methods,extracted the methods used in the dissertations,and conducted in-depth analyses from the perspectives of method usage frequency,temporal evolution,and disciplinary relevance.[Result/conclusion]There are issues of non-standardized naming of research methods in Chinese humanities and social sciences,but there is a gradual enhancement of methodological awareness.Classical data analysis methods such as comparative analysis,historical analysis,and literature research still dominate.Most popular research methods exhibit a certain degree of widespread applicability across different disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
