    The Use of IDR Metrics to Chart Research Trajectories at the Micro Level
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-17) Campbell, Audrey ; Carley, Stephen ; Porter, Alan L.
    This work focuses on two laboratories to understand the extent to which interdisciplinary research (IDR) metrics reflect research behaviors. The results indicate a statistically significant relationship between the level of interdisciplinarity and the years of active research for both the laboratories. Both laboratories evidence a tendency to become more integrative over time.

    Measuring the Interdisciplinarity of Nano-Biosensor Research based on Citation Analysis
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16) Carley, Stephen ; Gao, Lidan ; Ma, Tingting ; Porter, Alan L. ; Wang, Wenping ; Zhang, Xian
    This research introduces a methodology that combines analysis of cited literature and cited patents to explore differences and similarities between nano-biosensor (NBS) science and technology.

    Diffusion Score: Introducing a Counterpart to the Integration Score
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-16) Carley, Stephen ; Porter, Alan L.
    The diffusion score is a new interdisciplinary metric used to assess the degree to which research is cited across disciplines. It is the analogue to the Integration score that measures diversity among a given publication s references. Together these metrics enable tracking the movement of research knowledge across disciplines and citation generations.

    Validating Measures of Interdisciplinarity: Linking Bibliometric Measures to Ethnographic Studies of Engineering Research Labs
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-09-15) Carley, Stephen ; Nersessian, Nancy J. ; Porter, Alan L. ; Roessner, David
    This paper reflects the results to date of an ongoing project that is examining how the results of specific examples of interdisciplinary research are reflected in scholarly publications over time. We seek to compare knowledge based on ethnographic studies of a well-established researcher and his colleagues against bibliometric indicators of cognitive integration in specific papers produced by this researcher over time.

    Making Sense of Science
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-01) Porter, Alan L. ; Carley, Stephen ; Melkers, Julia ; Xiao, Fang
    Rapid changes occurring in scientific fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology increase the challenges technology managers and science policy makers alike face when determining the best course for research program strategy, management, and evaluation. Among other things, it is increasingly important to understand relationships, both cognitive and social, among research domains. In this panel, GaTech presenters discuss how using text-mining tools to analyze large sets of science and technology information provides indicators and insights into these critical questions. This presentation addresses the benefits and related issues in combining survey-based social network data with bibliometric data in the study of scientific collaboration. Preliminary results of on-going research are presented.
