Category theory and informetrics: Information production processes

Scientometrics, 1992
Egghe's continuous information production processes (in short IPP's) are described using category theory. Therefore, we first review the main ingredients of this mathematical theory, introduced byEilenberg andMac Lane more than four decades ago.

Bridging the gaps: Conceptual discussions on informetrics

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.

Informetric explanation of some Leiden Ranking graphs

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2013
The S‐shaped functional relation between the mean citation score and the proportion of top 10% publications for the 500 Leiden Ranking universities is explained using results of the shifted Lotka function. Also the concave or convex relation between the proportion of top 100θ% publications, for different fractions θ, is explained using the obtained new
