  • Coping with the Delineation of Emerging Fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology As a Case Study
    Coping with the delineation of emerging fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology as a case study. Journal of Informetrics, forthcoming; v. December 20,2018 Teresa Muñoz-Écija, Benjamín Vargas-Quesada, Zaida Chinchilla Rodríguez* Abstract Proper field delineation plays an important role in scientometric studies, although it is a tough task. Based on an emerging and interdisciplinary field —nanoscience and nanotechnology— this paper highlights the problem of field delineation. First we review the related literature. Then, three different approaches to delineate a field of knowledge were applied at three different levels of aggregation: subject category, publication level, and journal level. Expert opinion interviews served to assess the data, and precision and recall of each approach were calculated for comparison. Our findings confirm that field delineation is a complicated issue at both the quantitative and the qualitative level, even when experts validate results. Keywords: Field delineation; Science classification; Research topics; Bibliometrics; Scientometrics Highlights: This study offers an updated literature review of NST as a delineated field. We provide an extended and unified NST search strategy suitable for two databases, Scopus and Web of Science. After formulating a conceptual framework as to how to employ different approaches described in the literature, we tried to delineate the NST field at the journal level through a seven-step procedure. Three approaches —at subject category, publication and journal levels— were adopted to explore and analyze these two databases. The results are compared, and we offer a detailed explanation of the topics related to the journals included in each level. At the publication level, we compare the potential of the micro-field classification system developed by Waltman and van Eck (2012) with the other two approaches.

Severo 65, 10133, Torino, I-ITALY Statistical physics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the interactions of individuals as elementary units in social structures. Here we review the state of the art by focusing on a wide list of topics ranging from opinion, cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, social spreading. We highlight the connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics. We also emphasize the comparison of model results with empirical data from social systems. Contents 1. The Naming Game 30 2. Symmetry breaking: a controlled case 31 I. INTRODUCTION 2 3.

Although most of the established models feature rather simple microscopic interaction rules, the macroscopic long-time behavior of the collective often eludes an ana- lytical treatment due to the complexity, which stems from the interaction of the large system as a whole. An important class of models in the area of opinion dynamics is the one based on the principle of bounded confidence: Individuals hold and share opin- ions with others in random encounters. Their mutual influence will lead to up- dated opinions approaching a compromise, but only if the distance of opinions was not too large in the first place.

    How to Introduce Temperature to the 1 Dimensional Sznajd Model? Grzegorz Kondrat Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroc law, pl. Maxa Borna 9, 50-204 Wroc law, Poland Abstract We investigate the possibility of introducing the temperature to the one dimensional Sznajd model and propose a natural extension of the original model by including other types of interactions. We characterise different kinds of equilibria into which the extended system can evolve. We deter- mine the consequences of fulfilling the detailed balance condition and we prove that in some cases it is equivalent to microscopic reversibility. We propose a simple definition of the temperature-like quantity that measures the size of fluctuations in the system at equilibrium. The complete list of zero-temperature degenerated cases is provided. Keywords: equilibrium, temperature, detailed balance, opinion dynamics PACS: 64.60.De, 05.50.+q, 64.70.qd arXiv:0912.1466v2 [cond-mat.stat-mech] 1 Mar 2010 Email address: gkon@ift.uni.wroc.pl (Grzegorz Kondrat) Preprint submitted to Elsevier November 7, 2018 1. Introduction The Sznajd model was originally introduced in [1] in order to describe the mechanisms of opinion change in the society. The basic element of this approach is the “social validation”, a social phenomenon relying on the fact that usually two people sharing common opinion have much bigger influence on other people in a group than separate individuals. The model itself and its modifications have found numerous applications in sociophysics (see [2] for a recent review), marketing [3, 4], finance [5] and politics [6, 7, 8]. Apart from interest in social science, finance and politics, it also brings some new ideas to physics, as noted by Slanina and Lavicka [9].
