Scientometrics is concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science and scientific research. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by statistical mathematical methods. The journal publishes original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, the journal is indispensable to research workers and research administrators . It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories. Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of such investigations together in one place.

The notions of reputation and popularity in academia are critical for taking decisions on research grants, faculty position tenure, and research excellence awards. These notions are almost always associated with the publication track records of researchers. Thus, it is important to assess publication track records quantitatively. To quantify publication records, bibliographic indices are usually adopted...

Mapping the knowledge structure from word co-occurrences in a collection of academic papers has been widely used to provide insight into the topic evolution in an arbitrary research field. In a traditional approach, the paper collection is first divided into temporal subsets, and then a co-word network is independently depicted in a 2D map to characterize each period’s trend. To effectively map emerging...

Authors may believe that having more information available about the research can help reviewers make better recommendations. However, too much information in a manuscript may create problems to the reviewers and may lead them to poorer recommendations. An information overload on the part of the reviewer might be a state in which she faces an amount of information comprising the accumulation of manuscript...
