ScientometricsThe analysis of square matrices of scientometric transactions
80 Citations1981Derek de Solla Price
It is shown that this method yields very satisfactory analyses for journal and national citation data, enabling the members of the set to be assigned measures of size, quality and self-interest and a fuzzy set of clustered members from which all data may be derived.
ScientometricsInternational scientific cooperation: The continentalization of science
78 Citations1994Monique Y. Leclerc, Jonathan Gagné
This study describes as “world-science” marked by the collectivization of the centre, “centrality” being defined not by a national monopoly, but by the “hard core” of a transnational network, stratified on a continental or subcontinental basis.

76 Citations1991Henk F. Moed, Renger E. de Bruin +2 more
This paper adopts primarily the science policy point of view, and uses the combination of various quantitative, bibliometric analyses and qualitative research on the structure of science and the relations between science and society.

76 Citations1992Yoshiko Okubo, J. F. Miquel +2 more
An indicator based on the scientific linkages between countries established through internationally co-authored articles (COPs) is developed and the Correspondence Factorial Analysis method and the Minimum Spanning Tree classification are applied to observe the level of resemblance and the main characteristics of the collaboration structured by 98 countries in eight principal fields of science.

The data supports the theory that scientific collaboration serves as a means to advance research, as well as a mechanism to increase the visibility and authorship of the highly productive.
ScientometricsDoes it pay to cooperate? A bibliometric case study in molecular biology
72 Citations1995Heinrich Herbertz
In a citation analysis of 13 well-known research institutes in molecular biology there was no difference in the average citations per paper with regard to cooperations, and the differences could be explained by selfcitations.

55 Citations1988A. Schubert, W. Glaenzel +1 more
The need of proper reference standards in applying citation based indicators for comparative/evaluative purposes is stressed and emphasis is laid on the statistical reliability of the indicators and their graphic representation in the form of relational charts.
ScientometricsStructure of international collaboration in science-part II: Comparisons of profiles in countries using a link indicator
54 Citations1994Jean-François Miquel, Yoshiko Okubo
The behaviors of countries in scientific production activities are investigated using an asymmetrical matrix system to analyze data collected from the Science Citation Index and it is argued that these methods contribute to reveal traditions and policies of countries, universities and research organizations as well as that of the international network of scientific exchange.
ScientometricsThe increasing role of international cooperation in science and technology research in Mexico
49 Citations1995Jane M. Russell
Different characteristics of the collaboration are described, such as research areas, countries and institutions involved, of interest to Mexican policy makers and scientists, as well as to foreign governments and international organizations sponsoring cooperative agreements with Mexico.
ScientometricsAn improved method for analyzing square scientometric transaction matrices
49 Citations1982Elliot Noma
A model is proposed that separates the analysis of selfcitations from inter-citations and adjusts the expected citation counts by the journal to journal similarity, along with a statistical method for evaluating the validity of the model.
ScientometricsInternational collaboration: Will it be keeping alive East European research?
46 Citations1996T. Braun, W. Glänzel
It is shown that international collaboration was not developing similarly in the countries under study, and since 1990 an increasing scientific collaboration with highly developed countries can be observed in all five countries.

45 Citations1999Elise Bassecoulard, Michel Zitt
A seed-free structuration of SCI/CMCI journals with existing classifications at the subfield level is tried to explore the interest and the limits of this approach for upper levels of aggregation, and a few limits of journal-level classification are addressed.
ScientometricsInternational scientific collaboration in Latin America
44 Citations1992N. Narváez-Berthelemot, Luiz Frigoletto +1 more
The creation of an information system storing complementary data suited for the identification of existing internatinal collaborative projects is recommended because in the longrange future such a system would provide more appropriate information for the analyses of international collaboration.

41 Citations1997C. De Lange, Wolfgang Glänzel
A new indicator, the Multilateral Collaboration Index (ρ) is introduced and analysed as a function of the share of internationally co-authored papers (f) and a series expansion approach is applied that can be considered an extension of a fractionation model by Nederhof andMoed and allows classifying the extent of multilateral links both among science fields and among individual countries.
