Bi-connected Components in the Journal Citation Report of the Social Science Citation Index (5613 words)
1608 social science journals plotted in terms of the two main dimensions of the matrix (“economics” and “psychology” journals, respectively).
Unlike the natural and life sciences, the social sciences often construct their subject matter both in terms of “what” they study and in terms of “how” the subject under study is to be analyzed.
For example, in the case of science studies we found a longitudinal decay of a previously stabilized interdiscipline during the first half of the 1990s (Leydesdorff and Van den Besselaar, 1997; Van den Besselaar, 2001).
Physical science Summary (10893 words)
Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science, and science (generally), that study non-living systems, in contrast to the biological sciences.
Natural sciences generally, and physical sciences particularly, tend to be more reductionist sciences, in contrast to the more holistic social sciences; i.e., physical science tends to explain the whole system from the system's fundamental parts, whereas social science tends to explain the whole system as more than the mere sum of its fundamental parts.
Physics is the science of nature in the broadest sense, dealing with the fundamentals of matter, energy, and the forces of nature governing the interactions between particles (such as molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles).
