Phylomemetic Patterns in Science Evolution—The Rise and Fall of Scientific Fields

We worked with David Chavalarias on an automated method for the bottom-up reconstruction of the cognitive evolution of science modeled as lineage relationships between scientific fields. We refer to these dynamic structures as phylomemetic networks or phylomemies, by analogy with biological evolution; and … Continue reading

Tools and Methods

Understanding the dynamics of knowledge communities from their digital traces requires specifically designed tools to turn those raw textual traces into actual heterogeneous knowledge networks. Especially this first-level processing becomes quite a challenge when it comes to transform free text … Continue reading

Authors and Concepts mapping

Given  semantic reconstructions of  scientific activity one can be tempted to “project” agents publications or even agents dynamics on conceptual maps. A proximity measure between groups of terms provides a simple way to represent any institution (an agent, a lab, … Continue reading
