    Notes: Abstract In this article, the behaviors of countries in scientific production activities are investigated using an asymmetrical matrix system to analyze data collected from theScience Citation Index. Examination of international collaboration, intercountry relationships, and domestic scientific output patterns structured by 98 countries in eight principal fields of science reveal diverse aspects of country behaviors. Three asymmetrical matrixes are established and the multidimentional Minimum Spanning Tree technique is applied to classify, visualize and determine the distinctive characteristics of country profiles. Investigations are conducted at both a macro (country behavior) and a micro (particular city behavior) level in order to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology and to obtain global observations of country behaviors. It is argued that these methods contribute to reveal traditions and policies of countries, universities and research organizations as well as that of the international network of scientific exchange. Further usage of these methodologies is advocated for policy analysis.

    Notes: Abstract Science in the last few years has become increasingly global and collaborative. The number of internationally coauthored papers has been increasing steadily. We have counted internationally jointly authored papers involving authors from the advanced countries and the Third World countries, usingSCI 1991. We have looked at the number of papers resulting from collaboration among authors residing in the countries of the North (e.g. EC and OECD countries), authors residing in the South (e.g. India and Bangladesh, Mexico and Brazil, China and Pakistan) and papers resulting from collaboration between authors residing in the countries of the South and the North (e.g. India and UK, China and USA). Despite its late start, China has published many more collaborative papers with most Asian countries and the advanced countries of the West except the UK than India — confirming the effectiveness of the open door policy of post-Mao China. Both India and China collaborate with USA much more often in physics than in other areas, followed by clinical medicine. However, India collaborates more with USA in chemistry than China. In Indo-US and Sino-US collaborations, collaborating institutions are mostly universities and institutes of higher learning in India and USA, whereas in China several institutions under the Academies also take part. The percentage of collaborative papers involving authors from India is even smaller than the percentage of journal articles originating from India. In general, papers resulting from international collaboration appear in better journals and are cited more often than papers that are the outcome of local research.

    A stochastic model for the ageing of scientific literature (1994)

    Notes: Abstract A non-homogeneous birth process is used to describe the statistical properties of bibliometric citation processes. The model is analysed under special assumptions. Thelife-time distribution, special probabilities and mean value functions are used to characterize differences in the ageing structure of scientific literature, the change of citation impact in time and to analyse predictive aspects of reception processes. The results are applied to selected journals representing one field in science and social science each. The empirical part of the study is based on a 14-year citation history (papers published in 1978 and cited 1978–1991). An intimate, connection between impact and ageing cannot be observed. However, the ageing behaviour seems to be clearly influenced by field characteristics and by special document/journal types, such as letters and short communications.

    Bibliometric cartography of scientific and technological developments of an R & D field (1994)

    ISSN: 1588-2861

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents the results of an exploration of bibliometric mapping as an analytic tool to study the important aspects of the relation between science and technology, in particular the ‘science base’ of technology. We discuss a bibliometric (in particular a publication- and patent-based) approach to develop a cartography of science and technology, i.e., the construction of geometrically organized maps in order to visualize the changing internal structure of science and technology. These maps are based on co-occurrences of publication and patent keywords. We focus on a specific R & D field: optomechatronics. This field is characterized by a strong knowledge transfer between science and technology. We constructed maps for both the science as well as the technology ‘side’. Comparison of these two allows the exploration of existing or possible interaction of scientific and technological developments. We identified related subfields (co-word clusters) in the maps of both ‘sides’ in order to illustrate the interaction between science and technology. Subsequently, we extended the information given by the maps with information on the role and position of a number of countries in the different subfields of optomechatronics, both at the science side as well as at the technology side. This is done by identification of actors in the subfields represented by word clusters in the maps. Cartography of science and technology allows the observation of the structure (and its changes) of scientific and technology fields. Moreover, it illustrates both existing as well as possible links between science and technology. It therefore presents a powerful tool for science, technology and R & D policy.

    Notes: Abstract The study has tried to look at the political transition through the articles published by Spanish scientists in Spanish journals of Social Sciences and Humanities. A sample of 11000 article references from a selected set of 32 journals published from 1976 till 1985, has been the basis of the analysis. This time frame has been divided into two 5 year periods in order to detect any change in the topics published. The result of the analysis has been compared with the “events” as recorded by “El Pais” a very popular newspaper, during the same 10 year period and with a set of specific articles devoted to the Spanish political transition.

    Double exponential models for first-citation processes (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this article is to find a model for the first-citation or response distribution. Starting from plausible assumptions, we derive differential equations, whose solutions yield the requested functions. In fact, we propose two different double exponential distributions as candidates to describe the first-citation process. We found that some real data are best fitted by the first of these models and other by the second. We further note that Gompertz' curve plays an important role in this second model. These models can be used to predict the total number of articles in a fixed group that will ever be cited. We conclude that further research is needed to find out when one of the two models is more appropriate than the other.

    Notes: Abstract SCI-Map is a new PC based system for mapping the scientific literature. By selecting a seed item, the user can build a network or cluster of nodes interactively, and can view the structure as it is being built. New nodes are selected for addition to the network by the strength of their links to the items already clustered, and the positions of new nodes are determined by a geometric triangulation method. SCI-Map can be used to perform clusterbased retrieval using co-citation or other measures of document association, and enables the user to explore the structure of large document sets. This case study focuses on the AIDS literature and shows how the network is built up topic by topic, the recall of the final cluster, and where AIDS connects to the literature of other fields.

    Notes: Abstract A new method for the analysis of leadership and subdisciplinary structure of a scientific discipline is discussed. The database consists of lists of participants in international scientific meetings. Disciplinary leaders are identified by means of their frequency of participation. The subdisciplinary structure is mapped by means of cluster analysis of meetings with respect to degree of similarily. The method possesses strengths not shared by citation analysis: in addition to scientists frequently cited in the literature for their contribution to cognitive research programs, it also identifies administrative discipline builders. The method may also represent better the cognitive interests of scientists.

    Notes: Abstract The Informetrics Research Group (CERESI/CNRS) was recently created by the Mission for Scientific and Technical Information and Communication of the CNRS. CERESI's goal is to study the impact of computer supported information exchanges on the social processes underlying the construction of scientific knowledge. A better understanding of this impact should help in designing and building scientific and technical information management systems. In this paper, we will focus on one aspect of our work: mapping science and technology in order to build dynamic representations of science and technology.

    Notes: Abstract 50 pharmaceutical patents granted to firms, residing in US, GB, DE and HU each, were surveyed and the average numbers of scientific as well as patent itemsReferenced by the inventors were calculated. The sum of impact factors of the journals referenced (Total Weighted Impact) was calculated by scientific fields. About 50–60 per cent of scientific information referred to in the patents was found to originate from Life Sciences journals. It was found that 10 per cent of the journals referenced contained 55 per cent of the papers.

    Regularity and irregularity in the development of scientific disciplines: The case of mathematical logic (1994)

    Notes: Abstract We report on results from an analysis of mathematical logic from 1874 to the present time, covering about 15,000 authors with 50,000 publications. Frequency distributions in terms of contributions or in terms of the number of special areas dealt with exhibited a well-known lognormal form. A dynamic version of Price's inverse square (or power) law of elitism seems to be corroborated. The idea of a general exponential growth law is not convincing, however: All forms of growth of logic areas occur. In this contribution we apply, in addition, Goffman's epidemic model, contained in one of the rate theories of scientific dynamics, to the development of logic and formulate ex-post-ante prognoses of some areas of logic. The outcome casts doubts on the applicability in scientometrics of the epidemic theory in the form suggested byGoffman.

    Notes: Abstract Bradford's law, perhaps the most well known of the Informetric regularities, analyzes the scattering of articles in a single discipline over journals. Yet journals are multi-disciplinary entities. This paper discusses the implications for Bradford's law of the multi-disciplinary character of journals, and defines a simple model that indicates the evolution of journals as a competition among subjects for space.

    Notes: Abstract Detecting homogeneous areas in research networks is a very common feature of bibliometric analysis, either for academic or policy purposes. The method presented here combines structural analysis and trend detection, by operating on a “thick-slice” of time, starting from co-citation or co-word analysis (applications of either type have already been carried on). Significance of “trend” of clusters is partially addressed, through an analysis of publication delays. Examples are given on a co-citation analysis in the field of astrophysics (1986–1989).

    Relation of title length of journal articles to number of authors (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The great importance of titles being highly informative is almost unanimously accepted in literature, assuming that the more informative titles are, the more effectively they serve their functions. The most common measure of title “informativeness” has been the number of “substantive” words included in it, and one of the factors which might be associated with it is the number of authors. The present study attempted to test, in a large group of journals fromdifferent areas, and over six decades, the hypothesis that a paper signed by a larger number of authors will have more substantive words in its title. Large samples of original research papers were drawn from each decade year of fourteen leading journals. For each paper, the number of substantive words in the title was correlated with the number of authors. Findings indicate a difference between the scientific journals on the one hand, and the social sciences and humanities journals on the other. A moderate positive correlation was found in most scientific journals (excluding mathematics) for many periods. In the social sciences journals, and to a greater extent, in the humanities journals, a significant positive correlation was limited to only a few periods, while the rest showed a very low correlation, or even a negative correlation. The different findings for the sciences may be somehow associated with their higher rate of multiple authorship.

    Notes: Abstract Although the field of scientometrics/bibliometrics is rapidly growing, and the interest in scientometric indicators is constantly rising, the field is in a crisis: subfields are drifting apart, the field is lacking consensus in basic questions and of internal communication, the quality of scientometric research is questioned by other disciplines. Among the causes stated are: the loss of integrating personalities; shift from basic and methodological research to applied bibliometrics; domination of the interests of science policy and business in commissioning and funding research; vendor policies and failing quality-management on the side of database-producers; misuse of bibliometric research results and disregard for scientific standards. To overcome the situation, the authors plead for integrative and interdisciplinary research approaches, for reinforcing fundamental, methodological and experimental research programs in scientometrics, for independent funding of research, and for an enhancement of scientometric databases. The need for acknowledged technical and scientific standards in research and publication is stressed. Finally, the establishment of aCode of Ethics for the field of scientometrics is proposed.

    Notes: Conclusion I think that most of the problems mentioned in the GS paper are caused by natural evolutionary aspects of the discipline. It cannot be doubted that BIS is growing into a more and more professional research discipline. There are indeed problems of quality and of the fact that researchers have different origins. The first problem is evoluating in the right direction and the second one should be considered as an enrichment rather than as a negative fact. One must admit, nevertheless, that different subdisciplines will tend to live their own life, but that continuing contacts (such as joint conferences) remain important and are necessary for the further development of all these subdisciplines.

    Notes: Abstract I read the article ofGlänzel andSchoepflin: Little Scientometrics, Big Scientometrics... and Beyond. This paper presents scientometrics in a very pessimistic way, but, in my opinion it rises the following question:in which business are we? Are we in the analysis of the science production? Do we develop new tools to analyse the textual information? And, above all we use our results and for which purposes. It seems to me that if we answer those questions, a large step will be made in the understanding of the whereabout of our business.

    Notes: Conclusions Problems of scientometrics depend on in which phase of research or development each scientometric activity is operating. So, discussions mut be very, specific. The golden age when scientoetrics was “little” is gone. Now the age has come when scientometrics must be “big” by being sponsored by policy makeers. However, scientometrics should consider the public around the policy makers and thus grow up to “bigger scientometrics”.

    Notes: Conclusions As I noted in the beginning, I don't think bibliometrics research is in a crisis beyond that of academia in general. But we are in a period in which critical decisions are being made which will determine the well-being of our discipline in the coming years. Efforts are now underway to take advantage of the momentum of the conference series to establish a profession Informetrics association. I believe that it is most important for us at this point to assure that this association, which would deal with the types of problems G-S have raised, is strong enough to succeed.

    Notes: Conclusions According to the title, there is no doubt that the objective of the authors is to attract attention on the state of health of quantitative studies of science (scientometrics) and encourage research vigor. Every effort in this direction is praised in any field. At the same time, it is strange that (instead of concentrating on the patient) they have extended the set of quantitative methods without considering the purpose of their application and nature of treated data. Thus, some of the statements (e.g. growing number of publications) “seem” to be more names imposed on facts than the facts themselves.

    Notes: Conclusion As a mathematician working in the general field of informetrics, I would respond to G & S by pleading to all those who take any interest or responsibility in the development of the discipline that, in judging the value of any mathematical work, we must ensure not just its integrity but its ease of applicability for the practitioners —i.e. those who must actually use our work (unless it is all merely an academic exercise).

    Notes: Conclusion Turning under the aegis of our (former) classic once again:The World is ruled by spontaneity which escapes rationally oriented science. And we, as properhuman beings, and (former) disciples, may solemnly become itspsychosomatic devices. Or, if indeed,-metrics is actually in a difficult situation, let us try and help. No classics are needed for that, are they? Any task left, for a (former) empirist? Occasionally, it is worth having a choice.

    Notes: Abstract Geography, economic, socio-political and language are considered to be factors that effect the level of research collaboration. However, to-date no technique has been developed to isolate the effect of geographical proximity from the other factors. This paper presents a methodology for specifically examining geographical effects on intra-national scientific collaboration. An investigation of intra-national university-university collaboration in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom using this technique demonstrates that research cooperation decreases exponentially with the distance separating the collaborative partners.

    Notes: Abstract A method is described for the generation of journal-journal citation maps on the basis of the CD-ROM version of theScience Citation Index. Various sources of potential errors in using this data are discussed, and strategies are suggested to counteract these errors. A number of scientometric journal mappings are analyzed in relation to mappings from previous studies which have used tape data and/or data from ISI'sJournal Citation Reports. The quality of these mappings is compared with the quality of those for previous years in order to demonstrate usefulness of such mappings as indicators for dynamic developments in the sciences.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes the construction of improved informetric models of individual scientific and technological areas on the basis of individual co-citation clusters. The developed methodology of replenishment of research front with accidentally absent papers describes more completely the model. The simple method of cluster “dynamisation” is proposed for the study of evolution of a research area. The transition under consideration from co-citation clusters to lexical maps of papers and patents allows to monitor the relationship between R and D in a given technological area. Pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) as modern chemical engineering, is given as an example.

    Notes: Abstract By use of the subject category “Planetary Nebulae” (PNe) in the semiannual volumes ofAstronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts for the years 1986 to 1990, we statistically investigated items like the number of individuals with at least one paper concerning PNe (e.g. 331 in 1990), how this number is distributed among the 31 countries involved in PNe research (with the former USSR counted as one country), how the USA, Europe, and the remaining countries share the total number over 5 years (333, 317, and 283, respectively), etc. Furthermore, we give the number of publications, per individual and per year, in each country (The Netherlands is leading). We learned, that on the average there are 2.47 authors per PNe paper, and that the PNe researchers are producing 1.74 papers per year — if they publish at least once per year on PNe. In addition, we do not hesitate to give a list of names (the Top Ten), as far as their total number of papers on PNe are concerned. Last not least — do you have a guess how many individuals published at least one paper on PNe within these five years? There are 933.

    Notes: Abstract This paper compares the profiles of research output and transnational cooperation (as revealed through multicountry publications) of thirty six countries in ten subfields of Physics during the period 1981–1985. The data for comparative analysis were taken fromBraun et al. Since raw counts of publications are confounded by the size of the countries and the size of the research fields, this comparison is made, using relative indicators — activity index and collaboration index. The structures of research output and transnational cooperation are analyzed through Correspondence Analysis, which leads to the identification of countries with similar profiles (of research output and transnational cooperation) and the spatial representation of countries and Physics subfields. The configurations of research output and transnational cooperation are compared to assess the concordance between the policies of these countries for research and transnational cooperation in Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Results are presented of an analysis of 1333 papers in the SCI from 1986–1993 supported by the BAP, with their degree of trans-nationality, level of dependence on the programme and propensity to acknowledge this, and their record of citation by authors in different groups of countries. The papers are nearly three times as transnational in their addresses as other EC biotechnology papers, but nearly 25% of single country papers depend on foreign co-authors or acknowledge transnational support. BAP was acknowledged by 80% of the papers that received 20% or more support. Citations by authors from other EC Member States account for many of the extra citations received by BAP papers and show that the results of the programme have been effectively disseminated by the Commission within the EC.

    Notes: Abstract The article gives an overview of the extent of popular science publishing and contributions to public debate, as compared to scientific publishing among faculty members at Norwegian universities. Faculty publish far fewer articles for the lay public than publications for their specialist colleagues. There are, however, clear field differences in this respect. The most productive researchers in terms of scientific publishing are also the most prolific in nonscientific publishing.

    Notes: Abstract The question of knowledge construction can be regarded as a question of cognition in relation to action.Callon and al. have suggested interactive processes mixing both cognitive and social aspects of knowledge or technology. Both actors and interactions can usually be described by texts, and namely, by words. Thus knowledge development can be described through key-words network development. The authors have made simulations for knowledge development according to a local positive feed-back rule within small sets of word associations. In comparison with real data, the simulation results are fairly good. This approach leads to a general and very simple interaction model describing knowledge development. In this model, as opposed to usual cybernetics, actors constantly change, building a common scenario in relation to a mutual definition rule.

    Notes: Abstract At the occasion of the completion of the 25th volume ofScientometrics, we present a combined bibliometric and social network analysis of this journal. In more than one respect,Scientometrics displays the characteristics of a social science journal. Its Price Index amounts to 43.0 percent, and is remarkably stable over time. The majority of the published items inScientometrics has been written by a single author. Moreover, the network of co-authorships is highly fragmented: most authors cooperate with no more than one or two colleagues. Both the citation networks of the authors and the network of title words indicate that the field is nonetheless highly cohesive. In this sense, a specific identity seems to have developed, indeed. Some indications concerning the character of this identity are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Various data are collected for 15 member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that have to do with the practising of astronomy: (1) using the report of the Astronomy expert meeting of the Megascience Forum of the OECD, the level of astronomy funding, size of the research communities, relative commitment to ground-based versus space-based astronomy, etc.; (2) from other sources the size of the population, Gross National Product and size of the total research community; (3) from the paper ofSchubert et al. (1989) data on publication and citation scores of these countries in astronomy and the total research effort (excluding social and economic sciences). Using these data the 15 countries have been ranked on: (1) the relative level of astronomy funding; (2) the relative level of performance in astronomy; (3) the correspondence between funding and performance in astronomy; (4) the relative level of performance of the total science effort; and (5) the performance in astronomy relative to that in all sciences. The results of this study have been summarized in table 10 below. Other interesting results that can be inferred from the data collected in this paper are: (1) one out of every 75,000 inhabitants of these OECD countries is an astronomical researcher; (2) each citizen of these countries spends on average 2.5 $ per year on astronomical research (either from the ground or in space); (3) the average budget per researcher amounts to roughly 200,000 $ per annum; (4) the average budget for astronomy amounts to 0.016% of the Gross National Product and of order 1% of the total budget for civilian R & D; (5) an astronomical researcher from these countries produces on average 1.7 papers each year and these papers receive on average ten citations in the first five years; (6) researchers in science (excluding economic and social sciences) make up 0.08% of the population in these countries and one in about 65 of these researchers works in astronomy or astrophysics; (7) most countries spend about one-third of their astronomy budget on salaries, one-sixth on basic support and half on observing facilities (in a ratio one to two for ground-based versus space).

The 3006 references of the articles on MCT which were published between 1974 and 1992 in 343 periodicals were the samples for present study. The results were illustrated in order to identify reasonably a hierarchical ranking of periodicals and to evaluate objectively a distribution of countries where those articles were published and languages in which those articles were written.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we will study the field through the problematic network built by scientific articles, using actor-network theory (and consequently coword analysis) as a model for scientific knowledge (regarded as a social process) growth. Scientometrics is an hybrid field made of invisible college and a lot of users, thus controlled by both scientific research and final uses. Coword analysis gives the same weight to all articles, cited or not, and consequently computes the interaction network within all kind of authors. According to already described network properties of scientific interaction, coword analysis describes the dynamic of the field in accordance with what has been observed, and suggest forecast for the future.

    Notes: Abstract Empirical research carried out on a representative sample of 921 scientists from Croatia has shown that scientific fields are important socio-cognitive productivity framework. First, this can be seen in significantly different patterns of the average scientific productivity of researchers in different fields. Second, significant are the differences in the social organization of scientific fields, especially in the fragmentation and organization of the research process, which manifest themselves with a different engagement intensity of the respondents in each stage of the project. Finally, scientific productivity predictors are structured, ranging from significant ones in some fields, to those significant everywhere (qualifications and project roles).

    Notes: Abstract By transforming science into a vast single market for the exchange of research products, the globalization of scientific activity effects the mechanisms by which countries enter into mutual relations. It is no longer sufficient to conduct research jointly; research must also, and perhaps above all, be conducted within the strategic space of the network. In practice, the network takes the form of a cluster of nations and emerges in response to various determining factors or constraints. This does not, however, result in arbitrary criteria of association with the network: the distance from one country or group of countries able to play a regional or continental “governance” role, cultural or linguistic affinities, geographic proximity, the recognition of common interests, the existence of political agreements on cooperation are all grounds for linkage or association. In short, the geography of exchanges is changing before our eyes. This study describes as “world-science” marked by the collectivization of the centre, “centrality” being defined not by a national monopoly, but by the “hard core” of a transnational network, stratified on a continental or subcontinental basis.

    Notes: Abstract Conceptual and data problems make the selection of science and technology indicators difficult. It has also proven hard to link measures of scientific and technological activity with economic development. In this paper, statistically significant results are obtained by regressing one science and technology output indicator: patents granted to residents, with R & D expenditures and the stock of potential scientists and engineers. Statistically significant results are also obtained by regressing the same dependent variable onto population size and income per capita. The econometrically established patterns tend to corroborate previously formulated hypotheses and could be used, it is suggested, for policy analysis and projections.

    Notes: Abstract We carefully selected a group of chemical engineering scientists internationally recognized as ‘top-scientists’ in their field. A method has been developed to systematically compare bibliometric characteristics of these top-scientists with an ’average scientist‘ in chemical engineering. This method also includes citation-analysis of books and proceedings. The results show a very clear ‘bibliometric profile’. First, top-scientists’ references are more numerous and, fourth, they concern more recent literature. Our fifth findings is that the journals used by top-scientists for their publications are representative for the field of chemical engineering as a whole. But they differ in specific aspects significantly from the ‘average’ journal structure in chemical engineering: the published work of top-scientists is both ‘general’ as well as more specialistic than the average work in chemical engineering.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this survey is to study the present state and an evaluation of research activities in the field of life sciences in Japan. Based on the 5,107 papers from Japan in 1989 CD-ROM ofExcerpta Medica, a quantitative analysis to determine the present state of research activities in life sciences was conducted. There were 7 journals in which more than 50 papers by Japanese authors were published.Brain Research stood first. The ranking list of contributed papers demonstrates a preference of Japanese researchers' interest in international journals from commerical publishers rather than in society journals for the publication of their papers overseas. In view of the number of papers and the paper output per head, research activities of organizations were evaluated. The three national medical schools in Kyushu, Osaka, and Kyoto hold ranked high. A comparison between national medical schools and private medical schools shows that the former have higher productivities. Private medical schools were generally inactive, and they emphasized clinical activities more than research activites.

    Notes: Abstract A sample was selected fromThe Philosophical Transactions of Royal Society of London to examine the development of collaboration in scientific research from 1901–1991. The variables under study were: changes with time, as reflected in the 19 years sampled; the number of collaborative papers, which were subdivided by number of authors, type of collaboration, and the number of unique departmental subject titles; and the number of authors involved in producing collaborative papers, in which the proportion and the mean number of authors per paper were computed according to type of collaboration. It was found that, while the proportion of collaborative papers fluctuated over the years, the number corresponded to an exponential increase over time. The collaboration in the first half of the century was sporadic but grew rapidly in the second half, especially the collaboration involving many authors from different institutions and countries in the production of a publication. The trend toward interdisciplinarity has become pronounced since the 1960s. The phenomenon was found to be associated with the average number of authors per interdisciplinary paper and the type of collaboration. The limitations of the study are indicated and future studies are suggested.

    Notes: Abstract By applying of Bradford's law to analysis of the source documents and their references by classification systems researchers in the world, this paper presents core authors of the field during the period 1981–1990. The findings show that 1) core authors of the international classification systems literature are the Library of Congress, M. Dewey, S. Ranganathan, J. Comaromi, A. Neelameghan, L. Chan and K. Markey; 2) the highly cited authors are linked either to the developers of the classification systems or to a research center, or else they authored the most frequently cited books; and 3) the data confirms to Bradford's law and the unusual rising tail of Bradford distribution is appeared and explained.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents a methodology of analysis of scientometric data reflecting dynamics of technology-oriented R & D. The data base contains a range of articles, patents and standards in the field of welding technologies world-wide and covers the period from 1961 to 1989. The methodology allows to identify the current phase of a technology life cycle in a given country or company and to compare it to that of the leading countries. These data allow to make more motivated decisions in science policy and R & D management.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this work was to analyse the non-Science Citation Index subject visibility of the Latin American production in the health field. The methodology used considered manual and automated retrieval of the Latin American journals, as covered by different conventional secondary sources. The IMLA/LILACS (Index Medicus Latinoamericano/Latin American Literature in the Health Sciences) database was used to obtain a master list of the “sustained” journals for the period 1979–1990. The selected journals were classified by subject content, following the scheme of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. A total of 221 journals were selected and a database was developed. The results corroborated the leadership of Brazil in the field. It was also found that the subject content had a strong trend toward the “clinical”, medicine field. The subject “Medicine” was head in the list, with seventy four journals. Several difficulties and barriers to the use of the IMLA/LILACS database were detected. The implications of the overall analysis of this study as affecting researchers, policy makers and data-base producers are stressed by the author.

    Notes: Abstract A bibliometric analysis in the emerging field of bioelectronics, characterised by a high degree of interdisciplinarity, is carried out. Two different techniques — co-classification and co-word analysis — have been used and their results have been compared. The limitations and potentials of these techniques, especially concerning their use for analysing interdisciplinary scientific fields, are discussed. It is found that these techniques enable analyses gaining a first insight into the coarse structure of the field. The advantage of the techniques is their relative simplicity, and the possibility to carry out trend analyses based on relatively constant classifications of research activities, so that maps of different time periods become comparable and changes within the structure of the field become visible.

    The highly cited papers of professors as an indicator of a research group's scientific performance (1994)

    Notes: Abstract In the first part of the paper the citations in 1986 and 1987 of 3938 papers published in 1985 by 324 research groups in the faculties of science and of medicine of eight universities in the Netherlands are analyzed. Because of the large statistical spread of (1) the number of short-term citations of papers cited equally frequently over a long period, and (2) the number of citations over a long period of papers by the same author, short-term citation scores appear to be an unreliable indicator of a research group's contribution to science. In the second part of the paper an alternative approach is presented, based on a subdivision of the 3938 papers in papers authored by professors with 0–2, 3–8, or ≥9 highly cited papers (HCPs, ≥25 citations) to their name. Very large citation score differences were found for the three categories. For example: for papers first-authored by a professor, the average number of citations per person in 1986 and 1987 for 1985 papers was for 161 professors with ≥9 HCPs a factor 14 larger than for 575 professors with only 0–2 HCPs; for papers co-authored by professors, this factor was 6.6. These findings justify the conclusion that the number of HCPs scored by the professors (and other senior scientists) during their entire career is a much more reliable predictor of the performance of a research group than the number of short-term citations of the articles published by the group within a short period. A research group's contribution to science is primarily determined by the individual scientifictalents of its members.

    The frequency distribution of legal decision citations in the German jurisdiction (1994)

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé One can find the characteristic distribution regularities of information science in a communication system with similarities, but also great differences to scientific communication systems. The “inverse power law of scientific productivity” of Lotka is — in congruence with a contention ofPrice — true for the “informatory productivity” of legal decisions of some areas of law, if the reception of decisions is measured by the frequency of citations. The slopes of the curves vary with the areas of law (in my investigations roughly between 2.5 and 3.0), and the concentration processes exhibit different velocities. Lotka's formula is not applicable in every case: there seem to be areas of law with a stronger concentration of lower citation scores than permitted by the formula. The slope of the curve in some cases seems to be correlated — asPrice assumed — with the citation density of a database. Here again the income-tax law does not fit to the picture, as in the case of the Lotka law, too.
    Notes: Abstract This investigation has three aims: 1. To direct the attention of scientometrics to the widespread use of citation indexes by practising lawyers. The analysis of this practice is of special value for comparative studies in scientometrics and informetrics. 2. To examine the frequency distribution of legal decision citations in the German jurisdiction. 3. To test whether these frequency distributions depend exclusively on the density of citations between documents of a database, as stated by D. Price.

    British science in the 1980s — Has the relative decline continued? (1994)

    Notes: Abstract In previous articles, the author and his colleagues have shown that British science declined relative to other countries during the 1970 and more slowly during the early 1980s. More recently, the author examined figures for 1981–85 produced by the Information Science and Scientometrics Research Unit (ISSRU) and showed that they were consistent with other evidence on Britain's relative decline. However, those latter findings and the methodology used to derive them have been criticised byBraun and his colleagues at ISSRU, and byLeydesdorff andKealey. This paper begins by examining these criticisms to establish whether there are any grounds for revising the previous conclusion that British science has been slipping in relation to other countries. It then analyses the latest publication and citation statistics. It also presents new data on highly cited papers and on the national distribution of Nobel Prizes. The paper concludes that, although a few isolated indicators might be taken to suggest that British science has been growing in some absolute sense, the great weight of evidence points to a continuing relative decline.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of various factors upon the shape of Bradford's bibliograph was assessed through an examination of 16 bibliographies, of which ten were comprehensive. We obtained a curvature score for each bibliograph plotted in a standard landscape format so as to permit comparison; we found that the amount of concave up curvature (“convexity”): (a) is negatively correlated with a bibliography's overall publication density; (b) depends on the status (“technical” vs. “nontechnical”) of the disciplinary source of a bibliography, with technical disciplines showing less convexity; and (c) is complexly affected by the historical changes in the discipline. Findings are discussed in the context of questions about the graphical formulation of Bradford's Law.

    Notes: Abstract The efficiency of areas of science was evaluated using the DEA method. Areas achieving a maximum orientation or regard of international publication are rated as efficient. The areas of reproductive medicine, organic and inorganic chemistry in the former Federal Republic can thus be regarded as efficient areas of science. No area of scientific research in the former East Germany was able to achieve the optimum. The determinant in this connection is the adverse situation with respect to international orientation whilst no substantial difference in regard for further research could be detected between East and West German research.

    Notes: Abstract The scope of this article is to illuminate the relationship between degree of international contact and research performance among researchers in small countries. Comparisons are done between the natural, medical and social sciences, technology and the humanities. Three indicators on international contact are used: a) an index on contact frequency, b) type of conference attendance, and c) long-term research stays abroad. There is a relatively strong correlation between contact frequency and international publishing activity in all fields of learning. Researchers who were invited to present a paper by conference organizers were considerably more productive than those who gave a paper on their own initiative, and this latter group was in turn much more productive than those researchers who attended without papers. Contrary to other forms of contact, long-term research stays abroad have a very small independent effect on international publishing.

    Notes: Abstract A bibliometric analysis of agricultural literature published in Malaysia between 1981–1990 was undertaken. The analysis shed light on the key journals that published agricultural literature; on the forms of publications which are resorted to in the communication of research results; on the subject areas which are well written on and those that have been neglected; on the nature of contributions made by Malaysian authors; on the publishing practice of corporate bodies and on the number of publications produced each year.

    Notes: Abstract This paper sheds, through the concepts of demography, a differnet light on the study of scientific journals. Without leaving aside the major role played by scientific journals, such an approach allows for the use of tools which are at the basis of information watch in research. Different key variables are used such as the date of its birth of a journal (resp. its date of death), the migration to other fields of knowledge or to other audiences... A certain number of indicators are exposed such as the rates (gross or net) of new publications or deaths. Some applications are proposed.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we discuss the possible gaps between several subdisciplines in informetrics and between informetrics and other-metrics disciplines such as econometrics, sociometrics and so on. It is argued that in all these disciplines, common models exist which describe the main points of interest. We also show that many concrete problems in these disciplines can be formulated in the same way and hence have similar solutions. We can conclude with the statement that the possible gaps between these disciplines are smaller than what many researchers in these different areas may feel and hence that many research projects could be set up in a wider framework.

    Notes: Abstract Conferences and other kinds of scientific meetings are becoming increasingly important as means of scientific communication, especially in highly dynamic and multidisciplinary fields of knowledge. A “conference approach” has been pursued by collecting and analyzing data about conferences, courses, workshops, and exhibitions in the field of new biotechnology. The data cover the period of 1984–91. The textual conference data were categorized using a content analytic approach and a coding scheme. It encompasses all relevant fields of biotechnology, describing them in five dimensions: fields of knowledge, areas of application, groups of organisms that are of interest at meetings, methods of biotechnological relevance, and contexts of application and further development of biotechnology. In addition, variables describing the social, spatial, and time dimensions of scientific meetings as social gatherings were also taken into consideration. Distributions of and correlations between the categories are used to analyze structures of themes. If one differentiates these thematic structures according to organizing institutions, countries, and time, certain pecularities will be clearly visible.

    Notes: Abstract The paper is divided in two parts. Part I deals with the novel use of the concept ofentropy H (measured in nepers) of the ageT of references cited in the literature of a specialty, and the derived parameterS=exp(H) (measured in years). We have proposed to useS (orH) as a measure of the obsolescence of the literature. The concept of entropy comes from the Theory of Information (Shannon) where its mathematical properties have been widely studied and are thus available.H andS have been calculated for the log-normal probability density functions (which model the empirical distributions ofT) of some IEEE journals and for the 58-year collection of an electronics journal, and then they have been compared to the total utility function, this latter defined in the literature. Part II recalls and discusses the mean residual life,M(T), and the expected lifeE(T), of a reference of ageT (concepts borrowed from lifetime data analysis). Besides their intrinsic applications, another possible application of these concepts may be in defining quantitatively the age of “historical” papers. Examples taken from the literatures of the XX and XIX centuries have been reported.

    Notes: Abstract In our 1975 monograph “Evaluative Bibliometrics” we discussed the many uses of publication and citation analysis in the evaluation of scientific activities, and some of the basic statistical properties of the scientific literature, particularly the skewness of the distributions of publications and citations, reference time distributions, and various anomalies in the citation patterns from one country to another. Over the last ten years we have devoted much of our energy to the development of an analogous research base and infrastructure for patent bibliometrics, that is for the use of patents, and patent citations in the evaluation of technological activities. There are remarkable similarities between literature bibliometrics and patent bibliometrics, and they are both applicable to the same wide ranges of problems. This paper will show that there are striking similarities between literature and patent distributions of national productivity, inventor productivity, referencing cycles, citation impact and within country citation preferences.

The present study, based on a very homogeneous collection of clinical trials from a meta-analysis, provides a partial verification of this idea: citing authors prefer large studies to smaller ones, they also seem to prefer studies representing the minority view of the research issue, perhaps in order to make their presentation more balanced. On the other hand, in this instance the inclusion of a placebo in the study design does not affect citation frequency. Furthermore, the conjecture that heuristic value is a main determinant of citability is not settled.

    Notes: Abstract Results are presented of a scientometric analysis focusing on peripheral dynamics in a scientific field. We evaluate different techniques on their appropriateness for detecting relations between aspects that seem to be not of central interest but are important in innovative research. We do so in order to quantify the role that adverse drug reactions can play as trigger points in innovative drug research.
