Time-sliced Scientometric Analysis

Time-sliced scientometric analysis divides a bibliographic corpus into discrete temporal windows — commonly five- or ten-year periods — and applies standard scientometric indicators (publication counts, citation rates, h-index, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence) within each slice. By comparing results across slices, researchers can reconstruct how a scientific field has grown, shifted focus, formed new collaborations, or declined in influence over time. The approach combines the rigor of quantitative scientometrics with an explicit longitudinal dimension.
