  • A Hybrid Visualization Model for Knowledge Mapping: Scientometrics, SAOM, and SAO

    Abstract Predicting the crowd flow in various areas of the city is of strategic importance for traffic control and public safety. In recent years, crowd flow prediction based on spatio-temporal data are gaining more and more attention. In order to better understand the current status of spatio-temporal crowd flow prediction research and global cooperation, we…

  • Mapping Science Related to Competitive Intelligence

    Abstract Competitive Intelligence has become the most important technique to provide firms’ with competitor analyses to aid in decision making. At the same time, the scientific community’s interest in researching and developing competitive intelligence and its influential fields has substantially increased in the last two decades. The aim of this paper is to map science…

During the period 1993–2016, there were 38,315 peer-reviewed, among them, there were 11,018 (28.7%) articles related by one or more authors in a BRICS: India…

  • From Research to Industry: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Science-Technology Transferences and Emergence Patterns in Bioremediation

    This article uses text mining techniques to determine the time lag of knowledge transfer between research activity and technology development in bioremediation, complementing these with advanced visualization techniques in order to extract patterns that could be of interest for decision making in this field. The emergence patterns in this field have been identified and a…

  • Measuring and visualizing research collaboration and productivity (full-text)

    This paper presents findings of a quasi-experimental assessment to gauge the research productivity and degree of interdisciplinarity of research center outputs. Of special interest, we share an enriched visualization of research co-authoring patterns. We compile publications by 45 researchers in each of 1) the iUTAH project, which we consider here to be analogous to a…

  • Visualization of Disciplinary Profiles: Enhanced Science Overlay Maps

    Purpose The purpose of this study is to modernize previous work on science overlay maps by updating the underlying citation matrix, generating new clusters of scientific disciplines, enhancing visualizations, and providing more accessible means for analysts to generate their own maps. Design/methodology/approach We use the combined set of 2015 Journal Citation Reports for the Science…

  • Tracking the emergence of synthetic biology (full-text)

    Synthetic biology is an emerging domain that combines biological and engineering concepts and which has seen rapid growth in research, innovation, and policy interest in recent years. This paper contributes to efforts to delineate this emerging domain by presenting a newly constructed bibliometric definition of synthetic biology. Our approach is dimensioned from a core set…

  • Mapping the dengue scientific landscape worldwide: a bibliometric and network analysis (full-text)

    Despite the current global trend of reduction in the morbidity and mortality of neglected diseases, dengue’s incidence has increased and occurrence areas have expanded. Dengue also persists as a scientific and technological challenge since there is no effective treatment, vaccine, vector control or public health intervention. Combining bibliometrics and social network analysis methods can support…

  • Aesthetics in the age of digital humanities

    One of the most difficult but yet unavoidable tasks for every academic field is to define its own nature and demarcate its area. This article addresses the question of how current computational text-mining approaches can be used as tools for clarifying what aesthetics is when such approaches are combined with philosophical analyses of the field.…
