Philosophy of science viewed through the lense of "References Publication Years spectrosopy" (RPYS) [PDF]
We examine the sub-field of philosophy of science using a new method developed in information science, Referenced Publication Years Spectroscopy (RPYS). RPYS allows us to identify peak years in citations in a field, which promises to help scholars identify the key contributions to a field, and revolutionary discoveries in a field.
