“…Scientific journals are the heart of scholarly communication (Tomajko & Drake, 1985). They distinct from popular magazines and newspapers because they publish technical and research content (Haustein, 2012).…”

“…Before journals emerged, the communication between researchers was done by writing letters to each other. This process was not relevant because the letters were restricted to one person at a time and with a very limited number of copies (Tomajko & Drake, 1985). But then, scientific societies (at first from European countries) increased and got developed, which lead to the rise of journals.…”

“…The first scientific journals appeared in 1665. The three oldest scientific journals are listed in Table 2.1, where Journal des Sçavans is considered as the first scientific journal and was focused on church history and legal reports (Tomajko & Drake, 1985;UNESCO, 2015). Afterward, during the 17 th and beginning of the 18 th century, many journals were unsuccessful because they were not able to produce significant scientific output, missed sponsoring, and had communication problems.…”

“…But in the middle of the 18 th century, journals were accepted as a channel for sharing scientific knowledge and started to evolve, so that new journals for different disciplines were produced. In the year 1900, around the world, 10,000 scientific journals were recorded (Tomajko & Drake, 1985). From then onwards, scientific journals started to increase steadily.…”

“…During the 20 th century, the exponential growth of scientific output (i.e., journal articles) was confirmed because the number of researchers increased along with their published articles and fundings. With the rapid growth of journal publication, different problems appeared, such as publication delays, restrictions of the article length, referee missing that lead to access problems (Tomajko & Drake, 1985), as well as the main challenge, how to select the appropriate sources from all that output.…”

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Isabella Peters for supporting me during these past 6 years and for providing me guidance, encouragement, and kind advice throughout my research. She has been a key inspirational role model within my journey. I would also like to sincerely thank Prof. Dr. Klaus Tochtermann and Dr. Tamara Pianos for allowing me to work and research in such an excellent environment at ZBW (Leibniz Information Centre for Economic). Moreover, a special thanks to my ZBW colleagues, especially Dr. Nicholas Fraser and Steffen Lemke, for their useful and inspiring feedback on my PhD. Thank you to Dr. Guido Scherp and Dr. Atif Latif for their generous feedback that helped me throughout the way. I would also like to thank Bernd Schlünsen for his collaboration and support with integrating altmetrics data in some articles of EconBiz, which I used for my survey. In addition, I would also appreciate Thomas Arpe from the University of Kiel (CAU) for helping me with any server-related issues that were encountered when hosting and accessing my research data. Likewise, I owe thanks to Altmetric.com and Mendeley for offering me the opportunity to access and use the altmetric data for this research. To my wonderful husband, Nico Wichmann, I thank you not only for dealing with the challenges of PhD life but also for supporting me during hard times and while writing this thesis. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents, who, in their worse days, showed support and motivated me to continue to study and research. Finally, I would like to thank my lovely sister, who was always there for me when I needed her most.

The aim of this paper is to make manifest the intellectual and cognitive structure of nanoscience and nanotechnology (NST) by means of visualization techniques. To this end, we used data from the Web of Science (WoS), delimiting the data to the category NST during the period of 2000–2013, retrieving a total of 198,275 documents. Through direct author citation of these works, we identified their origins and the seminal papers, and through word co-occurrence extracted from the titles and abstracts, the main lines of research were identified. In view of both structures, we may affirm that NST is a young scientific discipline in constant expansion, needing time to establish its foundations but showing a strongly interdisciplinary character; its development is furthermore dependent upon knowledge from other disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, or material sciences. We believe that this information may be very useful for the NST scientific community, as it reflects a large-scale analysis of the research lines of NST and how research has changed over time in the diverse areas of NST. This study is moreover intended to offer a useful tool for the NST scientific community, revealing at a glance the main research lines and landmark papers. Finally, the methodology used in this study can be replicated in any other field of science to explore its intellectual and cognitive structure.
