Science and Technology Mapping with Bibliographics The best kept secret on the planet!
The main ideas behind mapping science and technology are both old and new. Bibiliographics, the study of collections of documents, is decades old, but remains an active research area even today. The main technique of bibliographics is co-occurrence analysis. Co-word or co-citation analysis are the "most" common tools of bibliographic methods.
Bibliographic techniques, if properly used, can reveal relationships among sets of words, sets of authors and sets of documents via their citations. Co-occurrence analysis can also be used to show relationships among text clusters or citations in groups of patents. The result is typically a network picture or a landscape.
One would expect that techniques that can make sense out of massive piles of information would be in wide use today and that managers worldwide would have turned to bibliographic data mining to be sure the paths they choose for high-risk innovation projects would be well founded. One might expect it, but it is not so. Bibliographic techniques such as science and technology mapping, patent mapping or science modeling remain some of the best kept secrets on the planet.
It is our hope that some of the links below will excite your interest in science and technology mapping and stimulate your interest in using bibliographic methods in high-risk innovation and product development decisions. Patent Insights is available to help you take a step toward more accurate, more confident decisions. Call us at 847-249-2712.
