Academic chemistry and related fields in Wrocław: Density-equalizing mapping studies over the past decades

“…A large number of excellent articles have described the historical background of Wrocław academic life over the past centuries,with a special focus on the time after 1945, when primarily the scientists from the Jan Kazimierz University of Lviv established new universities in Wrocław. [27][28][29][30][31] Basing on these historical facts, the present study incorporates scientometric approaches, together with novel visualization techniques, in order to illustrate the evaluation of chemistry and related areas in Wrocław. Scientometrics is a field of science, also termed as meta-science, that was propagated by key researchers such as Garfield or de Solla Price decades ago in world-renowned journals such as "Science" or "Nature".…”
