  1. Exploring Disciplinarity JSMF Workshop on Standards for Science Metrics, Classifications, and Science Mapping Dr. Cassidy R. Sugimoto & Scott Weingart August 11, 2011 Bloomington, IN

  2. Conceptualizations Social Communicative Cognitive Methodological Institutional Educational “a recognized community of researchers” “established manner for communication their findings” “coherence of content” “finite set of methods of inquiry” “group of institution that persist and remain stable over time” “a system for perpetuating the discipline by training new practitioners”

  3. Operationalizations • Units • Person • Paper • Journal • Department • Degree • Institution • Methods • Word co-occurrence • Topic modeling • Citation/co-citation/bibliographic coupling • Collaboration/co-authorship/co-worker networks • Hybrid • Approaches • Top-down • Bottom-up "The disciplinary diversity of an article was constructed from the distribution of ISI SCs in the references of an article." Rafols and Meyers, 2010 "the Gini coefficient can be considered as an indicator of specificity and therefore disciplinarity" Leydesdorff and Rafols, 2010 "If we assume that textbooks represent the content of the core of a discipline, we may examine references in a textbook in order to describe the nature of that core."

  4. Academic Genealogy

  5. Interdisciplinarity in LIS

  6. Advisor trends

  7. Committee member trends

  8. The vision 1 • Improved connections between conceptualizations andoperationalizationsin studies of knowledge • Large-scale utilization of academic genealogy as an indicator for the birth, maturation, and interaction of disciplines • Holistic metrics for identifying points of emergence, stability, fragmentation,and decline of disciplines 2 3
