The Sociology of Astronomical Publication Using ADS and ADAMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the NASA Astrophysics Data System database of astronomical abstracts in seven major astronomy journals to study trends in astronomical publication over the last twenty years. Two of the most interesting trends are the decreasing fractions of papers with one author and the increasing number of authors per paper.

ASTROPHYSICS The NASA Astrophysics Data System : Overview
The NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstract Service has become a key component of astronomical research. It provides bibliographic information daily, or near daily, to a majority of astronomical researchers worldwide. We describe the history of the development of the system and its current status. Urania (Boyce 1996), and the ADS role in the emerging electronic astronomical data environment are ...
متن کاملWorldwide Use and Impact of the NASA Astrophysics Data System Digital Library
The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), along with astronomy's journals and data centers (a collaboration dubbed URANIA), has developed a distributed on-line digital library which has become the dominant means by which astronomers search, access and read their technical literature. Digital libraries permit the easy accumulation of a new type of bibliometric measure, the number of electronic ac...
متن کاملUse of astronomical literature - A report on usage patterns
In this paper we present a number of metrics for usage of the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS). Since the ADS is used by the entire astronomical community, these are indicative of how the astronomical literature is used. We will show how the use of the ADS has changed both quantitatively and qualitatively. We will also show that different types of users access the system in different way...
متن کاملMaraghe Observatory and an Effort towards Retrieval of Architectural Design of Astronomical Units
Maraghe observatory was built by such engineers as Moayiededdin Orozi etc. under supervision of Khaje Nasireddin Tousi in 7th century AH. The most significant feature associated with Maraghe observatory is the fact that architecture is employed to achieve astronomical purposes in this site. The reason for preferring observatory by astronomers was the fact that these units are superior to wooden...
متن کاملKnowledge discovery in bibliographic collections using concept hierarchies and visualization tools
This paper presents new methods for knowledge extraction and visualization, applied to datasets selected from the astronomical literature. One of the objectives is to detect correlations between concepts extracted from the documents. Concepts are generally meta-information which may be defined a priori, or may be extracted from the document contents and are organised along domain ontologies or ...
