In this Feature we use automatic bibliometric mapping tools to visualize the history of analytical chemistry from the 1920s until the present. In particular, we have focused on the application of mass spectrometry in different fields. The analysis shows major shifts in research focus and use of mass spectrometry. We conclude by discussing the application of bibliometric mapping and visualizatio...

Sentiment analysis of citations in scientific papers is a new and interesting problem which can open up many exciting new applications in bibliometrics. Current research assumes that using just the citation sentence is enough for detecting sentiment. In this paper, we show that this approach misses much of the existing sentiment. We present a new corpus in which all mentions of a cited paper ha...

Corporate research and development (R&D) activities have long been highly concentrated in a handful of world cities. This is due to the fact that these cities (e.g., Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris) are home to the largest and most powerful transnational corporations and are globally important sites for innovative start-up firms that operate in the fastest growing industries. However, in tan...

This text is based on a translation of a chapter in a handbook about network analysis (published in German) where we tried to make beginners familiar with some basic notions and recent developments of network analysis applied to bibliometric issues (Havemann and Scharnhorst 2010). We have added some recent references.

Google’s PageRank method was developed to evaluate the importance of web-pages via their link structure. The mathematics of PageRank, however, are entirely general and apply to any graph or network in any domain. Thus, PageRank is now regularly used in bibliometrics, social and information network analysis, and for link prediction and recommendation. It’s even used for systems analysis of road ...

This paper presents an approach to bibliometric analysis in the context of technology mining. Bibliometric analysis refers to the use of publication database statistics, e.g., hit counts relevant to a topic of interest. Technology mining facilitates the identification of a technology’s research landscape. Our contribution to bibliometrics in this context is the use of a technique known as Laten...

This article presents the results of a systematic review of 139 papers from the Lean Healthcare literature. Bibliometric citation/co-citation and Social Network analysis compound the strategies for investigating the articles sampled. The results reveal a still emergent field marked by poorly explored relationships and knowledge, indicating abounding possibilities for research.

Computer Science, with its rapid development, has been receiving considerable attention and support from Taiwan’s government. Because of its active performance on the international stage, the authors consider Computer Science a suitable research field to investigate issues regarding highly-cited papers. As the literature review reveals, most studies about highly-cited papers covered the applica...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 METHODS: Institution websites were used to acquire academic attributes of full-time academic plastic surgeons. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payment database, NIH reporter, the Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF), and American Association of Plastic Surgeons (AAPS) websites were accessed for funding and endowment details. Bibliometric data of each ...

Objective: The present study offers a novel methodological contribution to the study of the configuration and dynamics of research groups, through a comparative perspective of the projects funded (inputs) and publication co-authorships (output). Method: A combination of bibliometric techniques and social network analysis was applied to a case study: the Departmento de Bibliotecología (DHUBI), U...
