Science mapping

This theme is dedicated to all aspects of structuring science output and linking individual objects. Structuring science is about identifying fields, sub-fields and research themes and relating them to each other.

Advanced mapping of science and technology
Scientometrics; 1998: 61 - 67
Noyons, ECM; Van Raan, AFJ
In the paper we will present the adjustments we implemented on the mapping procedure. We consider them as important improvements to make the maps more user-friendly. The improvements concern the implementation of graphical user interfaces, and the addition of 'map-external' information. This ...

Applying bibliometric mapping in a high level science policy context
SCIENTOMETRICS; 2009: 261 - 275
Noyons ECM, Calero-Medina C
Bibliometric maps have the potential to become useful tools for science policy issues. The complexity of the structures, however, makes it often very difficult to interpret the results. In this study, we present a case study in which we use the bibliometric mapping results to address a high level ...

Appropriate similarity measures for author co-citation analysis
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY; 2008: 1653 - 1661
van Eck NJ, Waltman L
We provide in this article a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author co-citation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors' co-citation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of ...

A recursive field-normalized bibliometric performance indicator: an application to the field of library and information science
SCIENTOMETRICS; 2011: 301 - 314
Waltman L, Yan E, van Eck NJ
Two commonly used ideas in the development of citation-based research performance indicators are the idea of normalizing citation counts based on a field classification scheme and the idea of recursive citation weighing (like in PageRank-inspired indicators). We combine these two ideas in a single ...

A simple alternative to the h-index
ISSI Newsletter; 2009: 46 - 48
van Eck NJ, Waltman L

Assessment of Flemish R&D in the field of information technology - A bibliometric evaluation based on publication and patent data, combined with OECD research input statistics
RESEARCH POLICY; 1998: 285 - 300
Noyons, ECM; Luwel, M; Moed, HF
This paper outlines a method to evaluate a geographic region's performance in a research field. Using bibliometric indicators, an overview is given of Flemish R&D potential in information technology (IT). Flemish IT activity is presented within the context of recent international developments in ...

ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL STANDING OF UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS RESEARCH - A COMPARISON OF BIBLIOMETRIC METHODS
SCIENTOMETRICS; 1992: 393 - 404

A unified approach to mapping and clustering of bibliometric networks
JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS; 2010: 629 - 635
Waltman L, van Eck NJ, Noyons ECM
In the analysis of bibliometric networks, researchers often use mapping and clustering techniques in a combined fashion. Typically, however, mapping and clustering techniques that are used together rely on very different ideas and assumptions. We propose a unified approach to mapping and clustering ...

Bibliometric assessment of research performance in Flanders: policy background and implications
R & D MANAGEMENT; 1999: 133 - 141
Luwel, M; Noyons, ECM; Moed, HF
We illustrate the use of bibliometric tools in the evaluation of scientific research conducted at Flemish universities and publicly funded research organisations, and in the assessment of scientific-technological performance in Flanders in the field of information technology. We sketch the policy ...

Bibliometric cartography of scientific and technological developments of an research-and-development field - the case of optomechatronics
Scientometrics; 1994: 157 - 173
NOYONS, ECM; VANRAAN, AFJ
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) ...
