Topic Modeling in Scientometrics

By Till Christian Bergmann

Science and academia are complex systems with many agents at different levels.

At the micro-level, individuals pursue research and hold academic positions.

At the mesa-level, these individuals form collaboration teams, departments and

universities and pursue goals together. At the macro-level, the universities are

linked together by global communication and collaborations. This complexity

makes quantification and evaluation of these structures difficult. How are

different universities linked together? How are different fields of science

connected? Which individuals push the boundaries of science further? How

should funding agencies allocate funding across this vast system? The field

of scientometrics tries to answer such questions using quantitative, large-scale

methods (Leydesdorff, 2001; Leydesdorff & Milojevi c, 2015). Increase in

computation power and the rising availability of accessible databases of scientific

information has made such an approach possible.
