In search of the European Paradox: an international comparison of Europe's scientific performance and knowledge flows in information and communication technologies research
Article Abstract:
Performance measures of the scientific performance of the EU in terms of information and communication technologies (ICT) are examined. The measures are based on the flows and stock of scientific knowledge embodied in research papers published in international technical and scientific journals. A comparison of the performance of the EU science base with Japan and the US was made based on the quantitative data obtained from the papers. Results confirm the existence of the Paradox in both the ICT research domains of telecommunications and computers and data processing.

A quantitative assessment of interdisciplinary structures in science and technology: co-classification analysis of energy research
Article Abstract:
A co-classification analysis of the contents of energy research publications offers an empirical solution to obtaining a comprehensive overview of their internal structure. The method shows the level of interdisciplinarity, the strength of interdisciplinary relations and graphical illustrations of the interdisciplinary structure. The analysis show that the method is useful in describing and identifying characteristics of multidisciplinary areas.
