WISER - Web Indicators for Science, Technology and Innovation Research http://www.webindicators.org/
Science is turning to e-science. An increasing part of on-line scientific communication and research is not (or only incomplete) visible in traditional S&T indicators. The objective of this research proposal is to explore the possibilities and problems in developing a new generation of Web based S&T indicators. Web indicators should produce information about visibility and connectivity of research centres forming a common EU research area; innovations and new research fronts reached by e-science; about equal rights access and participation on e-science gender and regional. The main products will a web-portal about Web indicators and a proposal for an additional chapter for the next ERSTI report. Quantitative measurements of web activities based on advanced informetric methods will be combined with qualitative case studies about changing ways of knowledge production and traditional S&T indicators.
