CALL FOR PAPERS

VII INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE STUDY OF 
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY “Prof. GILBERTO SOTOLONGO AGUILAR”
16-17 April, 2014 Havana, Cuba

This is the seventh edition of the international seminar held under the 
auspices of the biennial INFO congress. The first seminar took place on 
April 25, 2002 and has been held every two years since then to provide a 
forum for the identification of institutions and research interests in 
the field as well as a space for discussion between the different 
researchers and actors that participate in this important area of work. 
Additional information on the seminar and the papers presented in 
previous editions can be found at http://www.dynamics.unam.edu/alci/

Due to the success achieved by the seminar and as petitioned by the 
participants the organizing committee of INFO considers the seminar as a 
permanent part of their congress. The seventh seminar will take place on 
the 16th and 17th of April within INFO 2014 International Congress of 
Information, at the Palacio de las Convenciones, Havana, Cuba, from 
April 14th-18th.

The scientific committee invites interested researchers and colleagues 
to send research studies, review papers and case studies completed or in 
progress, related to the quantitative and/or qualitative studies of 
science and technology. Bibliometric, Scientometric, Informetric, 
Patentometric, and Webometric studies are of particular relevance, 
without discounting the importance of qualitative analytical methods and 
approaches.

Relevant topics for the VII seminar are:
•    Scientific communication models (systems approaches, mathematical 
models, etc.)
•    Patterns of communication, collaboration, information flows in S & 
T, migration (citation analysis, journal impact factors, national and 
international flows, etc.)
•    Scientific production (disciplines, gender studies, research 
departments, institutes, countries, etc.)
•    Literature dynamics (history, growth, obsolescence, scattering, S & 
T relations, etc.)
•    Indicators to support decision making in science policy (economics, 
organization and management, information and communication technologies, 
resource management, foresight, impact, evaluation)
•    Visualization and organization of information for bibliometrics, 
scientometrics and webmetrics/cybermetrics.
•    Theoretical aspects of the qualitative and quantitative study of 
science and technology.
•    Analysis, design and application of software.
•    Data and text mining techniques in indicator construction.
Colleagues interested in presenting their work at the Seminar should 
send their contributions clearly indicating the names of the authors, 
their institutional adscriptions and including: (1) abstract (2) 
background (3) objectives (4) methodology/focus (5) main results (final
