4. Conclusions and Future Work
- We analyzed the bibliographic records of 46,800 journal articles indexed in the Web of Science category “Information Science & Library Science” that were published between 1991 and 2010.
- We created citation and collaboration networks of level-1 suborganizations that we call departments and we visualized the most intense citations and collaborations between departments.
- We produced various rankings of “LIS” departments using ten well-known methods and computed the correlations between these rankings.
- Almost 88% of publications had some address information associated with them, but prior to 1998 only few publications had other than reprint addresses included.
- “Indiana Univ; Sch Lib & Informat Sci” is the best department in terms of citations and “Univ Minnesota; Carlson Sch Management” is ranked first by times cited.
- Most cited of all departments is “Indiana Univ; Sch Lib & Informat Sci” by “Wolverhampton Univ; Sch Comp & Informat Technol” and the most intense departmental collaboration occurs between “Univ Illinois; Coordinated Sci Lab” and “Univ Illinois; Grad Sch Lib & Informat Sci”.
