Applying bibliometric mapping in a high level science policy context
SCIENTOMETRICS; 2009: 261 - 275
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 ...
Beyond Rankings: the Role of Large Research Universities in the Global Scientific Communication System
2007: 762 - 765
Combining mapping and citation network analysis for a better understanding of the scientific development: The case of the absorptive capacity field
JOURNAL OF INFORMETRICS; 2008: 272 - 279
The general aim of this paper is to show the results of a study in which we combined bibliometric mapping and citation network analysis to investigate the process of creation and transfer of knowledge through scientific publications. The novelty of this approach is the combination of both methods. ...
How to identify research groups using publication analysis: an example in the field of nanotechnology
SCIENTOMETRICS; 2006: 365 - 376
We present a new bibliometric approach to identify research groups in a particular research field. With a combination of bibliometric mapping techniques and network analysis we identify and classify clusters of authors to represent research groups. In this paper we illustrate the application and ...
Important factors when interpreting bibliometric rankings of world universities: an example from oncology
RESEARCH EVALUATION; 2008: 71 - 81
This paper presents bibliometric characteristics of the 386 most frequently publishing world universities and of a (partly overlapping) set of 529 European universities. Rather than presenting a ranking itself, it presents a statistical analysis of ranking data, focusing on more general patterns. ...
Performance of European Science: Research Networks and Profiles of EU Countries in a Global Perspective.
2009: 256 - 290
Redefining the field of economics: Improving field normalization for the application of bibliometric techniques in the field of economics.

Research cooperation within the bio-pharmaceutical industry: Network analyses of co-publications within and between firms
SCIENTOMETRICS; 2007: 87 - 99
Bio-pharmaceutical R&D is increasingly an international affair. Research articles published in the peer-reviewed international scientific and technical journals represent quantifiable research outputs of bio-pharmaceutical firms. Large-scale systemic measurements of worldwide trends and sectoral ...
