Mapping the development of scientometrics2002-2008

The purpose of this article is to use the methods of Social Network Analysis and Science Mapping to make an analysis on the 816 papers published in the international journal Scientometrics from 2002 to 2008. This article studied the development of scientometrics and mapped the distribution and collaboration network of countries, analyzed the TOP44 institutions whose paper number >=5 and showed the relationships by a collaboration network, revealed the co-author network to map the collaboration among different authors, mapped the co-citation network to show the major topics that affected the development of scientometrics deeply. The major tools used in this paper were TDA, NWB and Excel.
