The Growth of Modern Analytical Chemistry as Reflected in the Statistical Evaluation of Its Subject Literature

I. INTRODUCTION As written by Derek DeSolla Price in the foreword of his book Little Science — Big Science,1 "My goal is not discussion of the content of science or even a humanistic analysis of its relations. Rather, I want to clarify these more usual approaches by treating separately all the scientific analyses that may be made of science. Why should we not turn the tools of science on science itself? Why not measure and generalize, make hypotheses, and derive conclusions?
