Journal of Scientometric Research (J. Scientometric Res.) is an internationally targeted official publication of Phcog.Net. It publishes peer-reviewed articles online in an open-access format, after a careful selection through a double-blind peer-review process. The journal encourages both empirical and the theoretical contributions that advance scientometric research (in its widest interpretation) and also reaches out to scholars of science and technology studies (STS), sociology, economics and other related fields that use scientometric data as the ‘object of investigation’ or apply scientometric analysis in innovation and STS studies..
