Bibliometrics, scientometrics and informetrics. Part 2. Object

A simplified and sometimes vulgar understanding of the role scientometrics in science management makes it necessary to better understand its essential characteristics. In this paper, is considered interrelations with bibliometrics informetrics that are fields knowledge closest it.In relation bibliometrics, informetrics, part discusses representationof their object. Its reinterpretation using modern broad meaning term “document” made us possible come conclusion there (at least) maximum convergence interpretations objects informetrics. any case, such a comparative analysis helps identify both similarities differences between these knowledge, which important, since awareness very obvious initial condition for mutual conceptual enrichment (artificially diverged?) concepts.Part 2 present paper provides examples treating scientometricsand traditional concept “document”, followed by brief review concept. However, consideration relationship “information” much more detailed work than was performed author’s previous on topic.
