As células-tronco são células que têm capacidade de se autorrenovar e diferenciar em outras especializadas. A busca por um melhor entendimento destes processos tem sido foco atual dos estudos nessa área. Trata-se de um campo de conhecimento relativamente novo no mundo, onde o Brasil vem se destacando cada vez mais na arena da ciência global, já que é um dos poucos a deter a tecnologia de células-tronco pluripotentes induzidas (induced pluripotent stem cells), que permite obter células-tronco em laboratórios, favorecendo, assim, a pesquisa na área. Considerando, então, o papel de destaque do Brasil nesta área, o presente estudo parte da seguinte questão de pesquisa: qual a estrutura intelectual da literatura científica da área de célula-tronco no Brasil e nos demais países dos BRICS? Pretende-se, assim, mapear a estrutura intelectual da área de células-tronco da produção científica brasileira, no contexto dos países dos BRICS (composto por, além do Brasil, China, Rússia, Índia e África do Sul) em dois períodos, 1991-2000 e 2001-2010. O material de análise é constituído de artigos originais, que foram recuperados da base de dados Web of Science. O método utilizado foi de caráter exploratório descritivo e de natureza quantitativa, tendo, nas técnicas bibliométricas, especialmente a análise de cocitação de periódicos, seu maior alicerce, e os periódicos cocitados como unidade de medida para tal análise. Os resultados apontam para um crescimento da produção cientifica para os BRICS em todo o período analisado, sobretudo a partir de 2001. Esse crescimento foi caracterizado como sendo de natureza exponencial (r² = 0,97), com tempo de duplicação de 2,3 anos e taxa de crescimento 37,75% o que denota uma intensa velocidade de produção numa área dinâmica como a de células-tronco. As posições no ranking da produção científica para os BRICS se altera entre os períodos: a Rússia liderava no primeiro, acompanhada pela China, Índia, Brasil e África do Sul (1991-2000) e para o segundo a China ocupava a primeira posição seguida por Brasil, Rússia, Índia e África do Sul. A estrutura intelectual da produção científica dos BRCIS para o primeiro período foi direcionada mais à pesquisa aplicada, com ênfase em temas relacionados à hematologia e áreas afins. No segundo período, a estrutura intelectual dos BRICS concentrou-se na pesquisa básica, com atenção a temas de biologia celular, biologia molecular e bioquímica, como também temas considerados de natureza emergente, como odontologia, neurociências, cardiologia, oftalmologia e biomateriais. A estrutura intelectual, que teve como base de conhecimento os periódicos cocitados, evidenciou uma coleção dinâmica e interdisciplinar, o que condiz com a área em estudo. Para o primeiro período, a estrutura intelectual se pautou nos periódicos cocitados Blood, Cell, Experimental Hematology, British Journal of Haematology, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Cancer Research, Journal of Experimental Medicine e Journal of Immunology; e, para o segundo período, Stem Cells, Cell, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Biomaterials, Development, Journal of Neuroscience, Blood, Cancer Research, Bone Marrow Transplantation e Circulation. O conjunto de dados indica que a pesquisa na área de células-tronco no Brasil, em relação aos demais países dos BRICS, tem vertente tanto da pesquisa básica como da aplicada na área de terapias células-tronco. Com os resultados, uma série de novas questões de estudo são visualizadas a fim de melhor compreende a dinâmica da produção em uma área em constante transformação, como células-tronco, seja a partir de aplicações de diferentes abordagens de cocitação ou com outras perspectivas metodológicas. / Stem cells research has provided advances with great intervention potential in the field of health, arousing curiosity of both scientific community and citizens. Stem cells are cells that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into other specialized cells. The search for a better understanding of these processes has been the focus of current studies in this area. This is a relatively new field of knowledge in the world, in which Brazil has been increasingly highlighting in the global science arena, since it is one of the few countries to hold the induced pluripotent stem cells technology, which allows scientists to obtain stem cells in laboratories and so the research in this area. Considering, then, the prominent role of Brazil in this field, this study starts from the following research question: what is the intellectual structure of the scientific literature of the stem cells area in Brazil and other countries from BRICS? It aims, therefore, mapping the intellectual structure of the stem cells area of the Brazilian scientific production in the context of BRICS countries (comprising, besides Brazil, China, Russia, India and South Africa) in two periods 1991-2000 and 2001-2010. The analysis were carried on original articles, recovered from Web of Science database. The method had an exploratory and descriptive approach, and used bibliometric techniques, mainly the analysis of co-citation journals, and cited periodicals were the unit of analysis. The results point to a growth of BRICS scientific production in the whole period, especially after 2001. We found that it had an exponential growth (r² = 0.97), with a doubling time of 2.3 years and growth rate of 37.75% which demonstrates an intense speed production in a dynamic area as stem cells. The ranking positions of scientific output for the BRICS changes from one period to another: Russia leading in the first, followed by China, India, Brazil and South Africa (1991-2000) and in the second China is in the first position followed by Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa. The intellectual structure of BRICS scientific production for the first period (1991-2000) was related more to applied research, with emphasis on topics related to hematology and similar areas. In the second period (2001-2010), BRICS intellectual structure of the scientific production focused on basic research, with attention to cell biology topics, molecular biology and biochemistry, but also considered issues of emerging nature, such as dentistry, neuroscience, cardiology, ophthalmology and biomaterials. The intellectual framework, which was based on co-cited journals, showed a dynamic and interdisciplinary collection that matches the area under study. For the first period, the intellectual framework was guided in the co-cited journals as Blood Cell, Hematology Experimental, British Journal of Haematology, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Cancer Research, Journal of Experimental Medicine and Journal of Immunology; and for the second period, Stem Cells, Cell, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Biomaterials, Development, Journal of Neuroscience, Blood, Cancer Research, Bone Marrow Transplantation and Circulation. The data set indicates that the stem cells research in Brazil, compared to the other BRICS countries, presents both in the aspect of basic and applied research in the area of therapies stem cells. From the results obtained, new research questions appear in order to better understand an area constantly evolving, as stem cells, enabling applications of different co-citation techinques or other with multiple methodological approaches.

偉大的科學家牛頓曾說：「如果我能比別人看的更遠，那是因為我站在巨人的肩膀上」。任何一個學科的發展，其創始和演進的過程中，必定有一群具有前瞻性與領導風格的研究者，憑藉著他們本身的才能與智慧、努力的奉獻和卓越的理念做出具體的貢獻，透過相同的理念奠定學科的根基，並促使學科興盛發展。 本研究採用書目計量學研究方法中的共被引分析法，以美國資訊科學學會所頒發「最佳貢獻獎」之得主為研究對象，並以1900年至2007年為研究範圍，進行資訊科學家之間的主題性分析。本研究旨在探討44位資訊科學先驅的共被引情況，以瞭解各位先驅和各領域主題的群集現象，進而探討資訊科學的知識結構。本研究透過Web Of Science資料庫分別對於44位資訊科學家與個人被引用最多之著作進行共被引次數檢索，製成共被引矩陣，除了瞭解資訊科學家與其被引用最多之著作的共被引強度外，並以KNOT軟體進行路徑搜尋網路分析，進一步探討資訊科學之主題分佈情況，並與前人所做的相關研究進行比較。 本研究結果歸納如下： 一、資訊科學先驅的被引用次數和共被引次數 (一)被引用次數和共被引次數高低的差異，較高者可強化連結強度，較低者可反應出不同的學科結構。 (二)共被引次數較普遍者，具有跨領域的特性。 二、資訊科學先驅的路徑搜尋網路分析 (一)資訊科學領域以五大領域為主要範疇。分別是以Salton, G所領軍的資訊檢索領域；Lancaster, FW所代表的圖書資訊學與圖書館教育、圖書館自動化與自動化系統、圖書館與資訊服務評鑑等領域；Garfield, E為核心的資訊計量學與引用文獻分析之領域；Belkin, NJ所代表的使用者研究與資訊尋求行為領域；Saracevic, T為主的圖書資訊科學概念與理論、圖書資訊科學史的領域。 (二)單篇被引用最多之著作的網路圖無法判別。 三、本研究與White, HD (2003a)研究結果之比較結果 (一)資訊科學領域的學科結構並無太大變動。 (二)資訊科學中心點的不同。本研究所得的網路圖是以Salton, G為圖形的中心點，而White, HD (2003a)則是以Lancaster, FW為圖形中心點。 四、資訊科學領域有跨學科之性質。透過分析結果可以發現資訊科學有跨領域的特性，在許多的資訊科學先驅本身的研究範疇不只侷限於資訊科學，甚且有跨越其他學科主題，例如：電腦科學、社會網絡分析、數學、統計學等。 / Newton, one of the great scientists, said：「If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.」The development in any discipline, in the founding and evolution of the process , there must be a group of forward-looking with the leadership style of the researchers. They make concrete contribution by virtue of their own abilities and intelligence, outstanding efforts and dedication. They through the same idea lay the foundation of their subjects and flourish their disciplines. This study aims at using co-citation analysis of bibliometrics, and regards the Winners of Award of Merit of American Society for Information Science as the research objects to analyze the relevance between and between information scientists, and the research years from 1900 to 2007.

This thesis aims to examine how the domain Assyriology can be analyzed with bibliometrics. It uses the domain analytic perspective by Birger Hjørland and Hanne Albrechtsen. The metadata was collected through the Web of Science and the dataset covers the years 2016-2020 from the journals Akkadica, Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Ancient Near Eastern studies, Journal of Ancient Near Eastern Religions and Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und Vorderasiatische Archäologie. The domain was studied by analyzing citations, the documents, languages, place of publication, the age of references and the authors by visualizing patterns in figures and tables. Co-authorship analysis was used to display collaboration between countries. The content was analyzed with co-citation analysis of references and co-word analysis of title words to visualize the knowledge structures within the domain. The study found that Co-word analysis did give a general idea of different knowledge patterns but there were few clear structures. The co-citation analysis was found to reveal more clear structures though the references had a low citation rate and so might not be representative of the whole domain. It was found to be effective to use tables and figures to visualize certain aspects and patterns within the domain. In conclusion, bibliometrics was found to be effective to gain knowledge about the domain Assyriology. This is a two years master's thesis in Library and Information Science. / Den här uppsatsen ämnar att analysera hur domänen assyriologi kan analyseras med hjälp av bibliometri. Uppsatsen använder ett domänanalytiskt perspektiv av Birger Hjørland and Hanne Albrechtsen. Metadatan har samlats in från Web of Science och datasetet består material från tidsperioden 2016-2020 från tidskrifterna AkkAncient Near Eastern studies, adica, Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Journal of Ancient Near Eastern Religions and Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und Vorderasiatische Archäologie. Domänen studerades genom att analysera citeringar, materialet, språken, vart materialet publicerades, åldern på referenserna och författarna genom att visualisera mönster i figurer och tabeller. Forskningssamarbeten analyserades för att visa samarbeten mellan länder. Innehållet analyserades med en cociteringsanalys av referenser och en cowordanalys av titelord för att visualisera kognitiva strukturer inom domänen. Studien fann att cowordanalys gav en generell bild av olika kongnitiva strukturer men det fanns få tydliga strukturer. Cociteringsanalysen hittade fler tydliga strukturer men referenserna hade få citeringar och det är därmed möjligt att det inte representerar hela domänen. Det var effektivt att använda sig av tabeller och figurer för att visualisera olika aspekter inom domänen. Sammansfattningsvis, bibliometri var användart för att få nya kunskaper om domänen assyriologi.
