ItemHow Multidisciplinary are the Multidisciplinary Journals Science and Nature?(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-03-15) Solomon, Gregg E. A. ; Carley, Stephen ; Porter, Alan L.This dataset provides Integration and Diffusion scores for the articles analyzed in our study, along with correlation coefficients and descriptive statistics for the same.

ItemThe 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.

ItemDiffusion 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.

ItemValidating 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, DavidThis 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.

ItemMaking Sense of Science(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-01) Porter, Alan L. ; Carley, Stephen ; Melkers, Julia ; Xiao, FangRapid 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.
