Applying onomastics to scientometrics
Analysts uncovered amazing patterns in the way scientists’ names correlate with whom they publish, and who they cite in their papers - not just in case of a particular country, but globally. Tania Vichnevskaia of the French National Institute for Health (INSERM) presented the paper ‘Applying onomastics to scientometrics‘ at IREG International symposium 2015 organised by University of Maribor and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Collaboration started between NamSor and bibliometric experts at INSERM – the French National Institute for Health- to evaluate and visualize the effects of migration, Diaspora engagement and possibly cultural biases in Science.
