“…Unsurprisingly, in information science as well, the use of CA has been advocated (Egghe & Rousseau, 1990). Well-known applications in this field involve the analysis of bibliographic networks and the cognitive-epistemological structure of the scientific system (Small, Sweeney, & Greenlee, 1985a;Small, Sweeney, & Greenlee, 1985b;Waltman, van Eck, & Noyons, 2010;van Eck & Waltman, 2014), or of a single field of research (Lin & Kaid, 2000;Persson et al, 2015). However, many more applications are conceivable.…”

This study uses cluster analysis as a tool for mapping diversity of publication patterns in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). By algorithmic clustering of 1828 senior authors affiliated with 16 disciplines at five universities in Flanders, Belgium, based on the similarity of their publication patterns during 2000-2011, we distinguish two broad publication styles, both of which are present within each discipline. We conclude that diversity in SSH publication patterns cuts across disciplinary boundaries. Cluster analysis shows promise for application in research evaluation for the SSH.

“…These studies aim to identify social or cognitive communities and (interdisciplinary) relationships between such communities. Some do so by mapping the authors who publish in a particular journal (Buchanan & Herubel, ; Herubel & Goedeken, ), while other studies investigate the interdisciplinary space between established scholarly communities (Ahlgren, Pagin, Persson, & Svedberg, ; Kreuzman, ; Weingart, ). Larivière, Gingras, and Archambault () map relations between institutions through coauthorship to explore the humanities with a more macro‐sociological perspective.…”

The cognitive and social structures, and publication practices, of the humanities have been studied bibliometrically for the past 50 years. This article explores the conceptual frameworks, methods, and data sources used in bibliometrics to study the nature of the humanities, and its differences and similarities in comparison with other scientific domains. We give a historical overview of bibliometric scholarship between 1965 and 2018 that studies the humanities empirically and distinguishes between two periods in which the configuration of the bibliometric system differs remarkably. The first period, 1965 to the 1980s, is characterized by bibliometric methods embedded in a sociological theoretical framework, the development and use of the Price Index, and small samples of journal publications from which references are used as data sources. The second period, the 1980s to the present day, is characterized by a new intellectual hinterland—that of science policy and research evaluation—in which bibliometric methods become embedded. Here metadata of publications becomes the primary data source with which publication profiles of humanistic scholarly communities are analyzed. We unpack the differences between these two periods and critically discuss the analytical avenues that different approaches offer.

“…The available set of tools, such as co-citation, co-word, co-author, or bibliographic coupling analyses, allows for uncovering the cognitive structure of any given field of study. Such analyses have been conducted for, among others, subdomains of philosophy (Kreuzman 2001; Ahlgren et al 2015), AIDS literature (Macias-Chapula and Mijangios-Nolasco 2002), the humanities versus social sciences (Mañana-Rodriguez and Giménez-Toledo 2013), or behavior research (Gonzalez-Teruel et al 2015).…”

“…In terms of specific bibliometric techniques, we have applied analytical methods that have been successfully used in similar studies, adapting them to suit our empirical approach and data limitations. For example, Ahlgren et al (2015) have conducted a network co-citation analysis (similarly to Kreuzman 2001) on papers cited within two strands of philosophy. Co-citation takes an integrative perspective, however.…”

Mind the Gap? Quantifying Interlinkages between Two Traditions in Migration Literature

Gap," "split," and "divide" are just a few among many words used in publicizing the divergence of literature on internal and international migration. In this paper, we empirically test what has so far been just a conjecture. Using Web of Science data and bibliometric techniques, we, first, provide quantitative measures of the size of the proclaimed gap. Second, we inquire into the existing conceptual overlap between the two strands of academic literature. Third, we search for channels through which research on internal and international migration can potentially blend into becoming a single, more holistic area of study.
