Implications of ambiguity for scientometric measurement

The essence of Scientometrics is precise measurement. Yet the measurements made in Scientometric research is steeped in ambiguity. This article explores the nature of ambiguity in measurement, and probes for mechanisms that allow regularities to be discovered in an environment in which ambiguity is pronounced.
