reference publication year spectroscopy

[Bornmann, Lutz]

We have extended our toolbox for doing a reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS). A description of the programs using some examples can be found in our paper (see also http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/rpys/). You can use these programs to analyze the historical roots of a research field or to analyze the impact of a single publication on different research fields.
