Extending Lotkaian informetrics
Information Processing & Management, 2008The continuous version of the Lotka distribution, more generally referred to outside of informetrics as the Pareto distribution, has long enjoyed a central position in the theoretical development of informetrics despite several reported drawbacks in modelling empirical data distributions, most particularly that the inverse power form seems mainly to be

An introduction to informetrics
Information Processing & Management, 1992Abstract The scope and significance of the field of informetrics is defined and related to the earlier fields of bibliometrics and scientometrics. The phenomena studied by informetricians are identified. The major contributors to the field in the past are described and current emphases are related to the contributions in this Special Issue.

The three dimensions of informetrics: a conceptual view
Journal of Documentation, 2013PurposeThe aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual model of the field of informetrics. Specifically, the paper argues that informetrics comprises the study of entities in three dimensions: the social, documentary and epistemic dimensions containing respectively agents, documents, and concepts or cognitions.Design/methodology/approachThe paper ...

Bridging the gaps: Conceptual discussions on informetrics [PDF]
Scientometrics, 1994 In this paper we discuss the possible gaps between several subdisciplines in informetrics and between informetrics and other-metrics disciplines such as econometrics, sociometrics and so on. It is argued that in all these disciplines, common models exist which describe the main points of interest.

Informetrics at the beginning of the 21st century—A review
Journal of Informetrics, 2008Abstract This paper reviews developments in informetrics between 2000 and 2006. At the beginning of the 21st century we witness considerable growth in webometrics, mapping and visualization and open access. A new topic is comparison between citation databases, as a result of the introduction of two new citation databases Scopus and Google Scholar ...

The Literature of Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, and Informetrics [PDF]
Scientometrics, 2001 Since Vassily V. Nalimov coined the term ‘scientometrics’ in the 1960s, this term has grown in popularity and is used to describe the study of science: growth, structure, interrelationships and productivity. Scientometrics is related to and has overlapping interests with bibliometrics and informetrics.

Web informetrics: extending classical informetrics to the Web
Proceedings. 13th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications, 2004We explore the extension of classical informetric theory to the WWW. From the power law distribution of Web page degrees, we derived other interesting laws that hold for the Web such as Mandelbrot's law, Leimkuhler's law and Bradford's law. We introduced the theory of information producing processes that serves as a generic framework for studying the ...

Informetric analysis of a music database
Scientometrics, 2002We analyse the statistical properties a database of musical notes for the purpose of designing an information retrieval system as part of the Musifind project. In order to reduce the amount of musical information we convert the database to the intervals between notes, which will make the database easier to search.
