Abstract:
Despite the promising introduction of bibliometric maps of science in a
science policy context in the nineteen seventies, they have not been very
successful yet. It seems, however, that only now they are becoming
acknowledged as a useful tool. This is mainly due to the developments and
integration of hypertext and graphical interfaces. Because of this, the
strength of such navigation tools becomes obvious. The communication
through the Internet enables the field expert (as a kind of peer review) as
well as the user (from a science policy context) to contribute to the
quality of the map and the interface. Moreover, the interface can provide
suggestions to answer policy-related question, which is the initial
purpose of such maps.
