Visualization of the Citation Impact Environments of Scientific Journals: An online mapping excercise (8014 words) |
 | As a policy application, the mechanism of interdisciplinary developments among the sciences is elaborated for the case of nanotechnology journals. |
| In science studies this operationalization of the intellectual organization of knowledge in terms of texts (journals) as different from the social organization of the sciences in terms of institutions and people would enable us to explain the scientific enterprise as a result of these two interacting and potentially coevolving dimensions (Whitley, 1984; Leydesdorff, 1998). |
| The latter can be expected to vary among fields of science and perhaps to a lesser extent among journals within fields, but they all contain a large tail which is loglinear and a core set which is curvilinear. |
