Science dynamics and research production: indicators, indexes, statistical laws and mathematical models

in recent years, The dynamics of science and research and scientific outputs have attracted much attention. One of the reasons rooted in the importance of evaluating scientific and research activities, especially the evaluation of research quality. Indices, profiles and various components have been created for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the dynamics of science and research outputs. On the other hand, mathematics and statistical models have found great application in this process. The book is of the series of Springer publishing books about the quantitative and qualitative analysis of science and communication of science and research, using perspective of applied mathematics. The book is written in three sections and six chapters, and is written for three groups of readers. To help audiences for better understanding the dynamics of science and research products, the author explained various types of concepts, indicators, profiles, statistical models and mathematical models in a simple and easy way.
