Abstract
The present paper tries to compare international flows of knowledge as measured in meetings with flows as measured with papers in order to see what meetings can add to bibliometric studies. It is shown that most of known bibliometric results are confirmed with meetings, although more skewly: the concentration of proceedings, the dominance and attraction of the United States, and the decline of United Kingdom. However, important limitations are associated with ISTP, namely the low rate of authors' addresses, a limitation which reduces the interest of ISTP for bibliometric studies.
Abstract
Despite the various studies on international collaboration, we still know very little about other forms of scientific collaboration. The present paper looks at collaboration at a national levle, more particularly between regions in a country. It is found that regional collaboration is very limited. In fact, international collaboration is three times more important than regional collaboration. This can be explained by the fact that the competition center in science is international rather than national.
Abstract
Since its beginning thirty years ago, bibliometrics has mainly studied academic publications. More often, theScience Citation Index (SCI) is treated as a whole, without breakdown of papers by sectors (university, government, industry). However, between 15% and 30% of the SCI publications comes from other sectors than university. We present the first bibliometric analysis of papers broken down by sectors. The data have been used to test the following hypothesis: the share of papers by sectors other than university is increasing, while university's share is decreasing. The hypothesis is tested for Quebec over the period 1980–1990. It appears that it is true that the share of papers by sectors other than university is increasing. And this is so at a rate greater than that of university's growth. Quebec's university sector has decreased its share of papers over the ten-year period from 89.2% to 85.1%. However, university remains the top sector in terms of papers and remains the main partner of each sector in terms of cosignatures.
