從澳門學研究書目的編製看澳門學的發展

Academia proposed the establishment of Macaology in the 1990s. Later with the joint efforts made by scholars, including discussion about its theory, analysis of its connotation and extension, defining of its research field and object as well as the exploration and collation of related historical materials, the theories of Macaology are becoming more and more clear and academia is increasingly paying more attention to its unique features and value. Moreover, with the gradually strengthened research team, relevant research findings are continuously achieved. Meanwhile, international seminars on Macaology are being convened on a regular basis. This demonstrates that Macaology has now become a subject worthy of significant study! However, we are now confronting a rather important problem, i.e. how to further push forward Macaology toward more intensive research. Thus this paper investigates three problems: firstly, the theorisation of Macaology; secondly, the relationship between Macaology and bibliography; thirdly, the academic value and significance of the compilation of the synopsis of works related to Macaology.
