Although experimentation is an accepted approach toward scientific validation in most scientific disciplines, it only recently has gained acceptance within the software development community. In this paper we discuss a 12-model classification scheme for performing experimentation within the software development domain. We evaluate over 600 published papers in the computer science literature and...

this study explored nominalized expression types in an applied linguistics book and a biology book as 2 distinct disciplines. the books were carefully read, the nominalized expression types were identified, the frequencies of the nominalization types were counted, and eventually chi-square was administered. results revealed no significant difference in using nominalization. furthermore, the den...

Research resources in a given scientific domain may spill over into other close disciplines, thereby improving performance. Using bibliometric data from the SCImago database drawn sample of 174 countries, we implement measure proximity-based on revealed comparative advantage (RCA) as specialization or activity index. Our estimates show that proximity between disciplines positively and significa...
