Scientometrics: Untangling the topics

Digital Libraries 2014-11-13 v2 Social and Information Networks Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability Physics and Society

Abstract

Measuring science is based on comparing articles to similar others. However, keyword-based groups of thematically similar articles are dominantly small. These small sizes keep the statistical errors of comparisons high. With the growing availability of bibliographic data such statistical errors can be reduced by merging methods of thematic grouping, citation networks and keyword co-usage.
