Benchmarking scientific output in the social sciences and humanities: The limits of existing databases
TLDR
There is a 20 to 25% overrepresentation of English-language journals in Thomson Scientific's databases compared to the list of journals presented in Ulrich, which means Thomson Scientific databases cannot be used in isolation to benchmark the output of countries in the SSH.

Long-term variations in the aging of scientific literature: From exponential growth to steady-state science (1900-2004)
TLDR
The major finding of this article is that contrary to a widely held belief, the age of cited material has risen continuously since the mid1960s, and it is suggested that this phenomenon is a direct response to the steady-state dynamics of modern science that followed its exponential growth.
