[Sigmetrics] Need Help: Positioning the "Black Swan Theory" in Scientometrics

[Gopal T V]

Dear All,

You may be aware that the black swan theory or theory of black swan events
is a metaphor that describes events of large magnitude that come as a
surprise, have a major effect, and are often inappropriately
rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.

Such events, considered extreme outliers precipitate what is usually
termed "Silent Risk".

[

Reference:

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Silent Risk, Descartes Publishing, 2015.

Please note that all DesCartes books and monographs are required to be
freely available in PDF form.

I am trying to locate references on factoring the "Black Swan Theory" in
the evolving gamut of Scientometrics.

Please help.

Warmest Regards
