Bibliometrics
Edited by Judit Bar-Ilan
One of the topics covered by the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology is bibliometrics. Bibliometrics studies the quantitative aspects of recorded information. In this virtual issue we have selected some articles published in 2007 and 2008 on major bibliometric topics: citation, co-citation and reference analysis; bibliometric indicators; open access and usage; and growth and obsolescence. Such a selection is necessarily subjective - if you enjoy the articles in this virtual issue, you are welcome to search for additional articles on these topics and others in JASIST’s regular issues.
