Reflection • Highest impact is not necessarily the most relevant one. • Results of Google Scholar are not so consistent.
How new is the topic ? Web of science: 1992,1995,2002,2004 Scopus: 1979,1986,1988,1989,1991,1993,1997 Google Scholar: ?,1990,1991,1992,1997
Reflection • The SDI topic is about 25 years old • The last 10 it has become a topic of scientific interest (now attention is reduced, why) • Some changes over the years, e.g.
