The self-similar science system

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the self-similar science system. The objective was to demonstrate that the Matthew effect in science and other structural properties of the science system are self-similar from the level of a domestic, sectoral and regional science system through to the level of the world science system. Results demonstrate that self-similar systems are robust and are disturbed very little by fairly large external shocks. To formulate more effective policies, new research methods and evaluation techniques should be designed for self-similar systems.

Generic climate maps: a strategic application of climate survey data?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the role of generic climate maps as strategic tools. Particularly, this research investigated the related concepts of climate and culture, and describes their function as root metaphors for organizational analysis. Findings provided insights as to the generic nature of the eight climate maps and their relationship with the character of member organizations, disadvantages and advantages of the instrument in the area of reliability, and possible application of climate surveys.

Representations by combined clustering and multidimensional scaling: Co-Word-Based Science Maps of Chemical Engineering

Article Abstract:

An approach integrating clustering, multidimensional scaling, and word-profile similarity techniques in co-word mapping is used to visualize the structure and monitor changes in chemical engineering. An extension of the co-word analysis was also extended to different word elements to create hybrid maps such as the author-keyword map. The results of the studies show that these techniques can help improve information systems in specific fields of science.
