Mapping scientific fields and research areas is of growing interest to
scientists, policymakers, funding agencies and industry. Computation of
bibliometric data such as co-authorships, co-citation analysis,
cross-disciplinary collaborations, and inter-institutional networks
supply coherent visual maps of the research landscape. Research in the
social sciences and humanities is often difficult to map and survey,
since these fields are embedded in diverse and often diverging epistemic
cultures. Some are specifically bound to local contexts, languages and
terminologies, and the domain lacks global referencing bodies and
dictionaries. Mapping scientific activity and understanding
interdisciplinary exchanges requires researchers to go beyond
traditional statistical methods, such as co-citation analysis, and
develop new semantic technologies such as topic models, natural language
processing, as well as survey-based studies.
We will explore how combinations and variations of science mapping
approaches can provide a productive basis for studies of research
characteristics in the humanities and social sciences.
Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF) is Europe?s largest interdisciplinary
science conference. It takes place every second year in a major European
city. ESOF2014 consists of a global forum for discussions on topical
issues in science and humanities complemented by an ambitious outreach
programme with a large number of events. The conference takes place at
the Carlsberg City District, Copenhagen June 23-26, 2014
(http://esof2014.org). About 4,500 participants from more than 70
countries are present at the conference. The Science in the City
festival is expected to attract more than 30.000 citizens to the free
activities.
