文章分析了从90年代初期刮起的情报“改名风”的原因和造成的不良影响 ,认为“情报”不完全等同于“信息” ,把原称的“情报”通通改名为“信息”是不科学的。情报学是否应该更名 ,是一个严肃的学术问题 ,理应由情报界共同商讨。在充分发扬学术民主的前题下 ,由集体研究决定 ,而不应采取简单的行政办法。 The article analyzes the causes and the adverse effects caused by the “renamed wind” of the intelligence that has been blowing up since the early 1990’s. It holds that “intelligence” is not exactly the same as “information” and that the name “intelligence” was renamed as “information” scientific. Whether information science should be renamed is a serious academic issue that should be discussed by the intelligence community. Under the precondition of fully developing academic democracy, it should be decided by collective research instead of adopting a simple administrative approach.
