Alesia Zuccala
thesis was titled: Revisiting the Invisible College: A Case Study of the Intellectual Structure and Social
Process of Singularity Theory Research in Mathematics (Zuccala, 2004).
I am currently working for the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University,
directed by Prof. Dr. Anthony van Raan. The strategy of CWTS is to conduct R&D in the field of quantitative
studies of science and technology and to develop products, services and teaching activities that address
the needs of science and technology policy and research management.
Bibliometric analyses are used for the design and construction of quantitative indicators to study the
development of science. CWTS applies this methodology for research evaluation and science mapping.
