Abstract: By a new fractal/transfractal geometry of the Unified
Scientometric Model, it is possible to demonstrate that science presents
an oscillating or pulsing dynamic. It goes alternatively through two
types of phases. Some phases are fractal, with crystalline networks,
where the Matthew effect clearly manifests itself with regard to the
most notable actors and those that provide the best contributions. The
other phases are transfractal, with deformed, amorphous networks, in
which the actors, considered mediocre, present greater capacity to
restructure the network than the more renowned actors. The result after
any transfractal deformation is a new crystalline fractal network.
Behind this vision lies the Kuhn paradigms. As examples, the scientific
fields of surfactants and autism have been analysed.
