This handbook offers a state-of-the-art overview of quantitative
science and technology research. It focuses on the development and
application of indicators derived from data on scientific or
scholarly publications and patents. It comprises 34 chapters
written by leading specialists in the various sub-domains. These
chapters deal with theoretical and methodological issues,
illustrate applications, and highlight their policy context and
relevance. Authors present a survey of the research topics they
address, and show their most recent achievements. The 34 chapters
are arranged into 5 parts: Disciplinary Approaches; General
Methodology; The Science System; The Technology System; and The
Science-Technology Interface. The Editor's Introduction provides a
further specification of the handbook's scope and of the main
topics addressed in its chapters. This handbook aims at four
distinct groups of readers: - practitioners in the field of science
and technology studies; - research students in this field; -
scientists, scholars and technicians who are interested in a
systematic, thorough analysis of their activities; - policy makers
and administrators who wish to be informed about the potentialities
and limitations of the various approaches and about their results.
