  Bibliometrics - (1) from biblio- = book; metrics = measurements . Relatively fine-grained measurements about publications, authors, etc. (2) from bibliome = complete corpus of biological texts; metrics = measurements. Relatively large-grained measurements about complete text corpora. Updates: Future meeting scheduling - HB not here Aug. 29, Sept. 12. Would a Th afternoon or Friday morning work better for meetings? TO suggests people present summaries of papers during meetings. He is willing to start off next week. NM. Proceeding, data collection is fairly complete. Currently debugging software. TO (see https://bibliometriks.blogspot.com/p/to.html for current status). Literature review should include: Does JF's proposal discuss queues at all? Perhaps Simul8 uses queues...check on that. The obvious queries provide papers on the bibliometrics of queuing theory work, not what we want which is papers about using queuing theory to understand bibliometrics. Still, the query r

Relatively large-grained measurements about complete text corpora. Updates: Future meeting scheduling - HB not here Aug. 29, Sept. 12. Would a Th afternoon or Friday morning work better for meetings? NM. Carrying on. TO (see https://bibliometriks.blogspot.com/p/to.html for current status). Literature review should include: Does JF's proposal discuss queues at all? Perhaps Simul8 uses queues...check on that. Do a replicatable search for use of queuing theory for bibliometrics. There may be little or nothing, but if you document how you searched, others would be able to verify and repeat the process themselves. This is the essence of the SLR (systematic literature review) method of reviewing the literature on a topic . A web search on the query: q

8/1/24 (#4): Updates and discussion

Bibliometrics - (1) from biblio- = book; metrics = measurements . Relatively fine-grained measurements about publications, authors, etc.  (2) from bibliome = complete corpus of biological texts; metrics = measurements. Relatively large-grained measurements about complete text corpora. This log is at: http://bibliometriks.blogspot.com . Updates:  TO not here Aug. 8; HB Aug. 22 NM - Working on learning and using Python along with calling SQL from Python. Google Scholar is making some mistakes, so we discussed handling that. TO - from last time: Method 1: treat each year as a discrete time step as items propagate through the queuing network. (Chapter 1?) Method 2: deal with a degenerate model where the "queues" are always of zero length because a citation is serviced at the instant it arrives/exists. (Chapter 2?) Method 3: a citation arrives on a queue when the citation is made. It is "serviced" when the citing paper is itself cited. Where does that lead? (Cha
