Science of science
This paper presents an overview of the interdisciplinary field of science of science in the context of previous efforts to quantitatively study science, dating back to the 1920s. Rather than focusing on research questions/problems that science of science addresses, this paper focuses on the challenges for the field in its second century. In particular, it addresses existing and potential new sources of data, theoretically-based interpretation of …

Bridging the divide between qualitative and quantitative science studies
In January 2019, the Editorial Board of the Journal of Informetrics decided to resign following a series of disagreements with Elsevier. In collaboration with the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) and MIT Press, the Editorial Board thereupon launched this journal: Quantitative Science Studies (QSS). The launch of QSS offers an opportunity to rethink the contents and research agenda of the journal, and marks a turn f…
Practical method to reclassify Web of Science articles into unique subject categories and broad disciplines
Classification of bibliographic items into subjects and disciplines in large databases is essential for many quantitative science studies. The Web of Science classification of journals into approximately 250 subject categories, which has served as a basis for many studies, is known to have some fundamental problems and several practical limitations that may affect the results from such studies. Here we present an easily reproducible method to per…
Recency predicts bursts in the evolution of author citations
The citations process for scientific papers has been studied extensively. But while the citations accrued by authors are the sum of the citations of their papers, translating the dynamics of citation accumulation from the paper to the author level is not trivial. Here we conduct a systematic study of the evolution of author citations, and in particular their bursty dynamics. We find empirical evidence of a correlation between the number of citati…
Opening science
Journal of Informetrics (JOI) was created in 2006 to serve the dynamic, interdisciplinary, and rapidly growing field of informetrics (Egghe, 2005, 2006a, 2006b, 2015). Leo Egghe, the founding Editor-in-Chief of JOI, attributed this growth to the increasing attraction of “scientists from fields such as mathematics, physics and computer sciences, thereby considerably increasing the number of researchers engaged in informetrics” (Egghe, 2006b, p. 4)…
Science of science
The whys and wherefores of SciSci The science of science (SciSci) is based on a transdisciplinary approach that uses large data sets to study the mechanisms underlying the doing of science—from the choice of a research problem to career trajectories and progress within a field. In a Review, Fortunato et al. explain that the underlying rationale is that with a deeper understanding of the precursors of impactful science, it will be possible to deve…

The Citation Impact of German Sociology Journals
We analyze the citation impacts (‚cited‘) and citation practices (‚citing‘) of sociological journals which publish mainly in German, and discuss major drawbacks of using the journal impact factor (IF) to assess the quality of these journals. First, sociological literature moves very slowly in terms of citations, whereas journal impact factors (IF) measure short-term impact at research fronts. Second, the citation distributions are heavily skewed …
Conference Models to Bridge Micro and Macro Studies of Science
We propose using community-centered analyses and agent-based models of scientific gatherings such as conferences, symposia and workshops as a way to understand how scientific practices evolve and transition between local, community, and systems levels in science. We suggest using robotics as a case study of global, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary scientific practice. What is needed is a set of modeling frameworks for simulating both the interna…
