Join ISSI: the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics

 

Our very successful ISSI 2009  conference has been held in Rio de Janeiro. Follow the link to see (many) pictures taken during the conference.

 

    Here are four articles I (co-) authored at the Rio ISSI conference: with Liang Liming, with my colleagues from Tsinghua University (about downloading) and with Dilruba Mahbuba (now from the Women's University of Asia) comparing Bangladesh with India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Finally, one with Raf Guns about Q-measures in networks consisting of different subnetworks.

ISSI teams up with ASIST for an informetric pre-conference in Vancouver.

ISSI 2011 will take place in Durban (South Africa). Be prepared!

Basic definitions in information science

Data: a representation of facts or ideas in a formalized manner, capable of being communicated or manipulated by some process.

Information: the meaning that a human assigns to data by means of the known conventions used in its representation.

So: data is related to facts and machines, information is related to meaning and humans.
