Research question:• Is science driven by prolific
single experts or by high-impact co-authorship teams?
Contributions:• New approach to allocate
citational credit.• Novel weighted graph
representation.• Visualization of the growth of
weighted co-author network. • Centrality measures to identify
author impact.• Global statistical analysis of
paper production and citations in correlation with co-authorship team size over time.
• Local, author-centered entropy measure.
Studying the Emerging Global Brain: Analyzing and Visualizing the Impact of Co-Authorship Teams Börner, Dall’Asta, Ke & Vespignani (2005) Complexity, 10(4):58-67.
Spatio-Temporal Information Production and Consumption of Major U.S. Research InstitutionsBörner, Katy, Penumarthy, Shashikant, Meiss, Mark and Ke, Weimao. (2006) Mapping the Diffusion of Scholarly Knowledge Among Major U.S. Research Institutions. Scientometrics. 68(3), pp. 415-426. Research questions:1. Does space still matter
in the Internet age? 2. Does one still have to
study and work at major research institutions in order to have access to high quality data and expertise and to produce high quality research?
3. Does the Internet lead to more global citation patterns, i.e., more citation links between papers produced at geographically distant research instructions?
Contributions: Answer to Qs 1 + 2 is YES. Answer to Qs 3 is NO. Novel approach to analyzing the dual
role of institutions as information producers and consumers and to study and visualize the diffusion of information among them.

Why map science and/or chemistry?
How does our collective scholarly knowledge grow over time? What major areas of science exist and how are they interlinked? Which areas are major knowledge producers; which ones are
consumers?
Computational scientometrics – the application of bibliometric/scientometric
methods to large-scale scholarly datasets – and the communication of results via
maps of science might help us answer these questions.
Chemistry is a field that is undergoing significant change. Interdisciplinary research has increased over time and the lines between chemistry and the life sciences have seemingly blurred.
This study maps the structures of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, and Bioengineering, and their interactions over 30 years using journal citation patterns.
Börner: “Mapping the Evolving Interface of Mainstream Chemistry and the Fields of Biochemistry, Biology, and Bioengineering.8
How to map science and/or chemistry?
1. Base Map. Information from the combined Science (SCIE) and Social Science (SSCI) Citations Indexes from 2002 was used to generate a disciplinary map of 7,227 journals and 671 journal clusters.
2. Overlays of DOE, NIH, NSF funding.3. Chemistry Disciplines. Clusters relevant to study the
structure and evolution of chemistry were identified using JCR categories and were further clustered into 14 disciplines.
4. Knowledge Diffusion among Disciplines. The changing scientific composition of these 14 disciplines and their knowledge exchange via citation linkages was computed. The result is visually communicated using the 2002 map of science introduced in 1.)
5. Discussion. Major changes on the dominance, influence, and role of Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, and Bioengineering over these 30 years are discussed. We conclude with a discussion and suggestions for future work.

Combined SCIE/SSCI from 2002Combined SCIE/SSCI from 2002 1.07M papers, 24.5M references,
7,300 journals Bibliographic coupling of papers,
aggregated to journals, counts are normalized using cosine index.
First stepFirst step remove 25 multidisciplinary journals
(MD) run graph layout and clustering on
remaining journals resulting in 646 clusters
Second stepSecond step add MD journals back as single-

Funding overlays
DOE – simple lookup of author institutions (LANL, LLNL, SNL, ANL, BNL, …)
NIH and NSF: Used RaDiUS data from 1999 Matched funded PI and institution from 1999 funding data to
first author and institution from the 2002 ISI publication data.
Not comprehensive, but representative. Undercounts actual funding profiles (e.g., if PI wasn’t first
author, if publications appeared earlier or later than 2002, …). Some false hits – could use text analysis to narrow further.

How to map chemistry
Data 1993-2004 JCR (citing:cited journal counts). Need comparable data for back years. Obtained journal citing:cited pairs for 1974, 79, 84, 89. Summed pairs to citing:cited journal counts. Thus, full set of citing:cited journal counts at 5 year intervals 1974-
2004.
JCR (citing:cited journal counts) 1974 1979 1984 1989 1994 1997 2004 JCR Data
Used 2002 base map as starting point. Added unique journals for other years to existing (2002) structure.
Order of adding years: 2004, 1999, 1994, 1989, 1984, 1979, 1974 Identified four fields and 14 disciplines within map. Fractional counting of publications by field and discipline. Graphical display of results.
Börner: “Mapping the Evolving Interface of Mainstream Chemistry and the Fields of Biochemistry, Biology, and Bioengineering.20
Adding unique journals
Example, for 2004, if [newjnl] was not in the 2002 list. Intercitation counts were read from table for all newjnl::existingjnl
pairs. Counts were aggregated to a newjnl::existingcluster matrix. Only counts to citedyr >= pubyear-9 were included (JCR standard). Cosine index values were generated for the newjnl::existingcluster
matrix. Newjnl was assigned to the existingcluster with the highest cosine
value.
For the next year, 1999, if [newjnl] was not in the combined 2002,2004 list same process.
All journals for all years were assigned to one of the 671 clusters.
Börner: “Mapping the Evolving Interface of Mainstream Chemistry and the Fields of Biochemistry, Biology, and Bioengineering.21
Four fields of interest / JCR categories
Field JCR Categories
Chemistry DW – Chemistry, Applied EI – Chemistry, PhysicalDX – Chemistry, Medicinal HQ – ElectrochemistryDY – Chemistry, Multidisciplinary II – Engineering, ChemicalEA – Chemistry, Analytical GC – Geochemistry & GeophysicsEC – Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear UH – Physics, Atomic, Molecular & ChemicalEE – Chemistry, Organic
Biology CU – Biology HT – Evolutionary BiologyCX – Biology, Miscellaneous PI – Marine & Freshwater BiologyDR – Cell Biology QU – MicrobiologyHY – Developmental Biology WF – Reproductive Biology
Biochemistry CO – Biochemical Research Methods individual journals: Science, Nature, PNASCQ – Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Bioengineering DA – Biophysics DB – Biotechnology & Applied MicrobiologyIG – Engineering, Biomedical QE – Materials Science, Biomaterials
Börner: “Mapping the Evolving Interface of Mainstream Chemistry and the Fields of Biochemistry, Biology, and Bioengineering.22
Fractional counting of papers
For each journal: Find JCR category assignments.
For example, the journal Bioelectrochemistry is in 4 JCR categories
CQ (Biochem & Mol Bio) – Biochemistry CU (Biology) – Biology DA (Biophysics) – Bioengineering HQ (Electrochemistry) – Chemistry
Split paper counts among fields. If there are 64 papers in Bioelectrochemistry, each of the
four fields will get 16 papers. Most journals are assigned to only 1 or 2 JCR categories.

Summary
Maps show the growth, distribution, and knowledge flows between Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, and Bioengineering.
Over the past 30 years, Biochemistry and Bioengineering are moving steadily into Chemistry territory, and are having a large influence on the general knowledge base.
Chemistry’s impact on the knowledge base is growing, but at a slower rate.
Journal-level data provides no information about the topics at the interface between fields, thus limiting the strategic decisions that can be made based on the mapping exercise.
Folding in patent and or commercial data would provide a basis to study the impact of research on innovation and product development. It might very well be the case that some areas of science change their impact from a generator of cited scholarly knowledge to a generator of commercially valuable and hence patented and/or disclosed knowledge.
Paper-level data would support the identification of topics on the interfaces between fields, knowledge
flows at topical levels, and detailed trends at these micro-levels. analysis of the trajectories and impact of single researchers, teams,
institutions, or nations.
The End.The End.
