Hola,
 
El subtema de la Comunicación en Ciencia, la Métrica de la Ciencia, tiene por diferentes y obvias razones, sentidos y características muy diferentes en la Pequeña y en la Gran Ciencia.  La Interdisciplinaridad en la Pequeña Ciencia también.
 
Miren por ejemplo que las revistas sobre las que se hicieron los mapas son todas publicaciones en Inglés.

Mapping Interdisciplinarity at the Interfaces between

the Science Citation Index and the Social Science Citation Index

pdf-version

 

The two Journal Citation Reports of the Science Citation Index 2004 and the Social Science Citation Index 2004 were combined in order to analyze and map journals and specialties at the edges and in the overlap between the two databases. For journals which belong to the overlap (e.g., Scientometrics), the merger mainly enriches our insight into  the structure which can be obtained from the two databases separately; but in the case of scientific journals which are more marginal in either database, the combination can provide a new perspective on the position and function of these journals (e.g., Environment and Planning B—Planning and Design). The combined database additionally enables us to map citation environments in terms of the various specialties comprehensively. Using the vector-space model, visualizations are provided for specialties that are parts of the overlap (information science, science & technology studies). On the basis of the resulting visualizations, “betweenness”—a measure from social network analysis—is suggested as an indicator for measuring the interdisciplinarity of journals.
