Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Quantitative Science Studies focuses on the quantitative analysis of science, including bibliometrics, scientometrics, and the study of scientific collaboration and impact. The journal examines the structure of science through mapping disciplines, analyzing publication and citation patterns, and evaluating research funding and its translation into societal relevance. It also investigates authorship practices, the role of preprints and review papers, and the influence of factors like gender, geography, and career stage on scientific careers and outcomes. Methodological aspects of quantitative research, such as robustness checks and the use of new data sources like grant data and software repositories, are also explored.
