Notas del editor
- By “characterizing” we mean going beyond simply “how much” to examining output by discipline, or journal, or conference – as well as identifying trends in growth or decline of output.
- Counting, measuring, comparing quantities, analyzing measurements: quantitative analysis is perhaps the main tool of science. Scientific research itself, and recording and communicating research results through publications, has become enormous and complex. It is so complex and specialized that personal knowledge and experience are no longer sufficient tools for understanding trends or for making decisions. Yet the need to be selective, to highlight significant or promising areas of research, and to manage better investments in science is only increasing. Those in universities, government offices and labs, and boardrooms must decide what research should be supported and what should not, or which research projects and researchers should receive more support than others. Until relatively recently, peer review was the main route by which science policymakers and research funders made policy decisions about science. A library faced with collection decisions, a foundation making funding choices, or a government office weighing national research needs must rely on expert analysis of scientific research performance. Increasingly, universities everywhere must demonstrate their special capabilities to a variety of constituencies. Universities that seek research funding from government agencies and foundations must provide evidence of their accomplishments and capacities. And in many countries, universities, whether public or private, must account for their performance as part of national or professional accountability protocols. Indeed, every university must have a clear, evidence-based understanding of the institution’s performance towards its goals and mission. This understanding is achieved and maintained through ongoing evaluation of all of the institution’s functions. Because research is a central function, the university must evaluate its performance. Data on research performance helps to inform strategic decisions about what areas of research to support or build. It also helps the university leaders understand the institution’s position relative to global and domestic standards of research production: How much research is conducted? What is its impact? How many of the faculty members’ articles are published in first-class journals? Is that number of publications increasing or decreasing? With solid, objective information about production and impact, the university has a strong basis for setting goals, charting progress, making budgetary and hiring decisions, investing in facilities, and working with external agencies.
- Bibliometrics should always be taken in context
- The first major award for the scientometric field, the Derek John De Solla Price Award of the journal Scientometrics , was first awarded in 1984 to Eugene Garfield. Little SCiBig Sci 1963 -- This book contains four introductory lectures on quantitative methods in the analysis of historical and modern science: 1. Prologue to the science of science (exponential and logistical growth of scientific publication and manpower); 2. Galton revisited (productivity distributions, laws of l,otka and Zipf); 3. invisible colleges and the affluent scientific commuter (multiple discovery and authorship, Bradford’s law, half-lives of papers); 4. political strategy for big scientists (saturation, language distribution, emergence of Japanese science, big science phenomena).
