Abstract :
Based on the data covered by China social science citation index (CSSCI), two scientometric models-rank-frequency distribution-exponential function and negative power function, concentration measurement are used. Quantitative characteristics of social science papers, citation were analyzed through distribution of region, institution and discipline in China. The results concern (a) No matter the index of papers upon social science, or the citation index reflects paper´s influence, or the input index effects the output of papers upon social science, according to regions, organizations or academic discipline, their rank-frequency distribution modes are stable and unified, all of which are negative exponential distributions; (b) from the comparison of Beijing, Shanghai and from economics, politics and the region distribution of social science papers, it can find the self similarity phenomenon.
