  1. Computational Scientometrics: • Mapping the Structure and Evolution • of Science • Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, Director • Information Visualization Laboratory, Director • School of Library and Information Science • Indiana University, Bloomington, IN • katy@indiana.edu • Maps of Science help answer questions such as: • What are the major research areas, experts, institutions, regions, nations, • grants, publications, journals in xx research? • Which areas are most insular? • What are the main connections for each area? • What is the relative speed of areas? • Which areas are the most dynamic/static? • What new research areas are evolving? • Impact of xx research on other fields? • How does funding influence the number and quality of publications? • Answers are needed by funding agencies, companies, researchers & society. • Shiffrin, Richard M. and Börner, Katy (Eds.) (2004). Mapping Knowledge Domains. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 101(Suppl_1). • Börner, Katy, Chen, Chaomei, and Boyack, Kevin. (2003). Visualizing Knowledge Domains.

  9. Spatio-Temporal Information Production and Consumption of Major U.S. Research Institutions Börner & Penumarthy. (2005) Does Internet lead to more global citation patterns, i.e., more citation links between papers produced at geographically distant research instructions? Analysis of top 500 most highly cited U.S. institutions. Each institution is assumed to produce and consume information. g82-86 = 1.94 (R2=91.5%) g87-91 = 2.11 (R2=93.5%) g92-96 = 2.01 (R2=90.8%) g97-01 = 2.01 (R2=90.7%) 9
