What is bibliostatistics?
Bibliostatistics is an interdisciplinary field that results from the application of data science to bibliographic and bibliometrics research. In this sense it transcends traditional bibliometrics by engaging a broader range of tools (statistics, data and text mining, analytics, etc.) towards a deeper understanding of various aspects of scientific publishing and research assessment.
One goal is to use bibliostatistics to study citation impact, both from a fundamental and applied perspective. For example, what is the nature of the Journal Impact Factor, what are its properties, constraints and limitations?
