Abstract

This article presents an overview of measuring science based on a bibliometric methodology. The 2 main lines of this methodology are discussed. First, the measurement of research performance is addressed, including aspects such as interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and knowledge users. It is demonstrated that advanced bibliometric methods are an indispensable element next to peer review in research evaluation procedures, particularly at the level of research groups, university departments, and institutes. Problems involved in the application of bibliometric analysis in the social sciences are discussed. Next, an introduction to the mapping of science is presented, focusing on basic concepts and issues of practical application of science maps. These maps are unique instruments to discover patterns in the structure of scientific fields, to identify processes of knowledge dissemination, and to visualize the dynamics of scientific developments. Their potential for unraveling interdisciplinary developments an...

科学研究核心方面的测量:绩效、跨学科性、结构
本文介绍了基于文献计量学方法的测量科学概述。本文讨论了该方法的两条主线。首先,讨论了研究绩效的度量,包括跨学科、协作和知识使用者等方面。研究表明,在研究评估过程中,先进的文献计量学方法是仅次于同行评审的不可或缺的因素,特别是在研究小组、大学院系和研究所的水平上。讨论了文献计量分析在社会科学应用中所涉及的问题。其次,介绍了科学制图,重点介绍了科学制图的基本概念和实际应用中的问题。这些地图是发现科学领域结构模式、确定知识传播过程和可视化科学发展动态的独特工具。他们有潜力解开跨学科的发展和…
