Empirical Evidence of Self-Organization?

van den Besselaar, Peter

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, v54 n1 p87-90 Jan 1 2003

Examines the claim in a recent paper that biotechnology develops in a self-organizational mode, which is empirically supported by a multivariate analysis of documents from core biotechnology journals showing a relationship between title words and region of origin. This paper argues that this claim is an artifact of the method used. (Author/MES)
