Measuring Science: Capita Selecta of Current Main Issues
@inproceedings{Raan2004MeasuringSC, title={Measuring Science: Capita Selecta of Current Main Issues}, author={A. V. Raan}, year={2004} }
After a review of developments in the quantitative study of science, particularly since the early 1970s, I focus on two current main lines of 'measuring science' based on bibliometric analysis. With the developments in the Leiden group as an example of daily practice, the measurement of research performance and, particularly, the importance of indicator standardization are discussed, including aspects such as interdisciplinary relations, collaboration, 'knowledge users'. Several important… CONTINUE READING
