台灣少年小說的起步相較歐美各國遲緩，晚至1960年代才出現首批本土少年小說單行本，1990年代質量均佳的作品相繼出版，少年小說才深獲肯定。本研究旨在探討1960到2010年台灣地區少年小說出版發展的歷程，以及影響台灣少年小說出版發展的重要事件與因素，並且進一步探析少年小說書目歷年成長的變化情形。 本研究以歷史研究法為主，根據文獻史料分析，台灣地區少年小說出版發展可區分為四個階段：1960－1973年孕育萌芽期；1974－1987年成長茁壯期；1988－1996年交流拓展期；1997年迄今蓬勃發展期。台灣少年小說的出版發展與政治開放、經濟繁榮、社會多元化以及文化與教育水準的提升等社會變遷有密切的關係。最後挑選出台灣少年小說出版歷程中具有指標性意義的16件大事。 本研究兼採書目計量法，對台灣地區出版的少年小說創作出版品之出版年代、出版社、作者等書目資料進行統計分析，以供未來相關研究參考之用。研究結果歸納：(1)台灣少年小說出版量在1990年代急速成長；(2)1990年代以來大陸少年小說作品數呈現穩定的成長；(3)前十名重要的少年小說出版社：依序為九歌、文房、民生報社、幼獅、小魯、福地、小兵、台灣省政府教育廳、富春以及聯經出版社；(4)前五名重要的大陸少年小說出版社：依序為民生報社、九歌、聯經、風雲時代、小魯以及麥田出版社；(5)前十三名重要的少年小說作者：依序為李潼、沈石溪、管家琪、郭妮、李光福、溫小平、張之路、曹文軒、李淑真、黃海、鄭宗弦、周姚萍以及張友漁；(6)前六名重要的大陸少年小說作者：依序為沈石溪、郭妮、張之路、曹文軒、周銳以及秦文君；(7)少年小說作者生產力與80/20 定律驗證並不相符；(8)台灣少年小說出版發展歷程與出版年代的書目成長變化二者可相互呼應。 綜合研究結果，歸納建議：(1)對兒童書目資料庫的建議：早日成立一座國家兒童圖書館，專門負責建置兒童讀物書目資料庫；(2)對兒童圖書編目的建議：應將少年小說與故事書分開獨立編目，便於兒和童少年選讀適合自己的作品；(3)對出版社的建議：應採計畫出版；鼓勵作家展現本土風情的創作，培植寫作新秀；創作和翻譯作品並重，既可觀摩優秀作品又可滿足讀者需求；(4)對作者的建議：多閱讀優良中外少年小說作品，拓展國際視野；從歷史鄉土中尋找題材，持續不斷磨練寫作技巧，提升作品的品質；(5)對圖書館的建議：圖書館應竭盡所能搜羅優良的本土少年小說作品，並且定期舉辦閱讀推廣活動；(6)對相關研究者的建議：研究結果可供兒童文學界、出版社或圖書資訊服務單位作為參考。 / The start of Taiwan juvenile novels was comparably slower than European and American countries.
