Abstract:The methods of hierarchical cluster analysis and correlation analysis are applied in this paper to characterize the disciplinary structure of different nations in human geography. The finding suggests that, first, there is an extremely uneven distribution of global pattern in international human geography, with Anglo-America as the hegemony in the international human geography, while Europe countries take up the second-tier contributors; and China is the only developing country which is listed in the top 10 nations of human geography. Second, according to the disciplinary structure, the main countries of human geography over the world can be clustered into four major groups, namely, Anglo-countries, Asia-Pacific countries, CentralSouth European countries, and North European countries. These groups are specialized in different sub-disciplines of human geography. In general, Anglo countries are specialized in social and culture geography, European countries are specialized in economic geography, and Asia-Pacific countries are specialized in environment and sustainable studies. Lastly, the paper finds out that there is a significant correlation between disciplinary diversity and scientific productivity in terms of SSCI papers per R&D investment.
