TL;DR
This paper studies the use of citation analysis for assessing national research performance in a research subfield and discusses methodological problems related to the definition of research subfields and to data acquisition.
Abstract
This paper deals with three types of questions concerning the application of citation analysis. First, it studies the use of citation analysis for assessing national research performance in a research subfield; second, it discusses methodological problems related to the definition of research subfields and to data acquisition; and third, as the data concern four Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, attention will be devoted to special problems arising from the application of citation analysis to relatively small countries. These problems are of both methodological and interpretative character.

ScienceThe Matthew Effect in Science
6,270 Citations1968Robert Κ. Merton
The psychosocial conditions and mechanisms underlying the Matthew effect are examined and a correlation between the redundancy function of multiple discoveries and the focalizing function of eminent men of science is found—a function which is reinforced by the great value these men place upon finding basic problems and by their self-assurance.

The data allow the view stated by Ortega, Florey, and others that large numbers of average scientists contribute substantially to the advance of science through their research to be questioned.

A critical review of methods for evaluating R and D concludes that at the level considered evaluations have come to stay, but she can find no accepted rationale guiding the choice of method for a particular purpose or circumstance, and Caution is therefore needed in selecting methods.
