This work discusses a methodology for measuring the applied orientation, which we call “applicateness”, of the results published by a researcher in the scientific and technological literature, and applies this methodology to evaluate the potential applicability of a research project submitted for funding to a grant agency. Our methodology develops...

In this study our aim was to characterize the role of a scientific journal as a vector for the transfer of knowledge between different research communities. To detect the size and extent of a journal's readership, we used citation analysis of two scientific corpora constructed around the production of one journal. The first was made up ofex anteref...

This paper discusses a concept for inferring attributes of ‘frontier research’ in peer-reviewed research proposals under the popular scheme of the European Research Council (ERC). The concept serves two purposes: firstly to conceptualize, define and operationalize in scientometric terms attributes of frontier research; and secondly to build and com...

This article discusses a statistical modelling approach for inferring attributes of ‘frontier research’ in peer-reviewed research proposals submitted to the European Research Council (ERC). The first step briefly revisit the underlying concept, approach, and the defined indicators to proxy aspects of frontier research, which are based on proposal t...

Lorsque la production scientifique devient trop complexe et sophistiquée pour être appréhendée par un évaluateur, les méthodes infométriques peuvent s'avérer utiles, soit en appui du processus de prise de décision, soit pour évaluer ce dernier. En fait, l'évaluation infométrique pourrait répondre au besoin croissant de suivi des résultats de la sci...

Introduction This work deals with the evaluation of the potential applicability of a research project. We were faced with this problem within the framework of a European project which goal is to support the selection process of research projects submitted for financing to the ERC (European Research Council). We have developed an analytical methodol...

This paper discusses a scientometric-statistical model for inferring attributes of 'frontier research' in peer-reviewed research proposals submitted to the European Research Council (ERC). The first step conceptualizes and defines indicators to capture attributes of frontier research, by using proposal texts as well as scientometric and bibliometri...

This paper discusses a concept for inferring attributes of 'frontier research' in peer-reviewed research project proposals under the scheme of the European Research Council (ERC). The concept serves two purposes: 1) to conceptualize and define, automatically extract, and comparatively assess attributes of frontier research in proposals; and 2) to b...

Negative results are not popular to disseminate. However, their publication would help to save resources and foster scientific communication. This study analysed the bibliometric and semantic nature of negative results publications. The Journal of Negative Results in Biomedicine (JNRBM) was used as a role model. Its complete articles from 2002–2009...

Scientific progress in technology oriented research fields is made by incremental or fundamental inventions concerning natural science effects, materials, methods, tools and applications. Therefore our approach focuses on research activities of such technological elements on the basis of keywords in published articles. In this paper we show how eme...

Following up the European project PromTech the aim of which was to detect emerging technologies by studying the scientific literature, we chose one field, Molecular Biology, to identify and characterize emerging topics within that domain. We combined two analytical approaches: the first one introduces a model of the terminological evolution of the...

Nous proposons de présenter l'approche de fouille de données textuelles développée dans notre équipe. Nos travaux s'inscrivent dans une démarche d'analyse de l'information scientifique et technique, afin d'aider les utilisateurs à enrichir leur modèle de connaissances ou à effectuer une tâche complexe comme la veille technologique, le traitement de...

This paper focuses on the identification and characterisation of emerging topics within a technological field based on scientific literature data, namely in the field "optoelectronic devices". The motivation for this work roots in the framework of the PROMTECH project, whose principal objective was to produce a methodology allowing the identificati...

A new type of statistical analysis of the science and technical information (STI) in the Web context is produced. We propose a set of indicators about Web users, visualized bibliographic records, and e-commercial transactions. In addition, we introduce two Web usage factors. Finally, we give an overview of the co-usage analysis. For these tasks, we...

Given a query on the PASCAL database maintained by the INIST, we design user interfaces to visualize and browse two types of graphs extracted from abstracts: 1) the graph of all associations between authors (co-author graph), 2) the graph of strong associations between authors and terms automatically extracted from abstracts and grouped using lingu...

Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un projet européen dont le but est l'identification, d'une part, des technologies émergeantes et prometteuses ayant des liens forts avec le domaine de la Physique et, d'autre part, des communautés scientifiques développant ces technologies. Nous avons choisi de travailler à partir d'une base de données bibliogra...

Ce travail s'inscrit dans un projet européen dont le but est l’identification des technologies émergeantes et prometteuses ayant des liens forts avec le domaine de la Physique, et l’identification des communautés scientifiques développant ces technologies. Nous présenterons les critères qui ont guidés notre choix de la base documentaire utilisée po...

We present a new kind of statistical analysis of science and technical information (STI) in the Web context. We propose a battery of indicators about Web users, used bibliographic records and e-commercial transactions. In addition, we introduce two Web usage factors and we give an overview of the co-usage analysis. For these tasks, we present a com...

This paper describes the implementation of an association analysis method to process Web site data. The association analysis makes use of Web site links in order to produce a representation of sites association structure. A description of the association network is the goal to reach. The data refers to 791 university sites from the 15 countries bel...
