Historically, researchers have not fully capitalized on the potential synergies that exist between bibliometrics and information retrieval (IR). Knowledge of regularities in information production and use, as well as citation relationships in bibliographic databases that are studied in bibliometrics, can benefit IR system design and evaluation. Similarly, techniques developed for IR and databas...

Analyzing the structure of research articles and the relationship between the articles has always been important in bibliometrics research area. One of the methods for analyzing articles is by its citation. Normally researchers rank the article based on the citation count. But this quantity based evaluation is not sufficient due to various citation types like Random citation, Guest citation. Ou...

This study gives an overview of the process of clustering scientific disciplines using hybrid methods, detecting and labelling emerging topics and analysing the results using bibliometrics methods. The hybrid clustering techniques are based on biblographic coupling and text-mining and ‘core documents’, and cross-citation links are used to identify emerging fields. The collaboration network of t...

The methods of bibliometric research of scientific periodicals are studied much better than the properties of periodicals though the latter are the subject of the assessment. Since the properties in most cases are not being evaluated directly, the problem is to identify the intermediate that is DIRECTLY evaluated by a concrete method and to determine, which specific property of a scientific per...

It is rather difficult to forecast emerging technologies as there is no historical data available. In such cases, the use of bibliometrics and patent analysis have provided useful data. This paper presents the forecasts for three emerging technology areas by integrating the use of bibliometrics and patent analysis into well-known technology forecasting tools such as scenario planning, growth cu...
