Abstract
Scientific publications disseminate research results and are
therefore an interesting subject for science and technology
analysis. Bibliographic databases contain scientific publications which are
indexed and structured. The paper considers Fusion Research and Technology
records which are stored in the
International Nuclear Information System (INIS) bibliographic database.
For the first time, all scientometric and
bibliometric information specific to a selected field of science and
technology contained in a bibliographic database, using INIS records, is
analysed and quantified. A variety of new science and technology indicators
which can be used for assessing research and development activities are also
presented.
