The Globalization of an Author

Abstract

Cybermetric methodologies can be expected to reveal dimensions of communication other than those shown by scientometric operationalizations. In a previous study entitled â The organization of the semantic space of an author,â [1] I studied the use of words in titles of articles by Professor Tibor Braun as a scientific author. This was on the occasion of his 60th birthday. This year, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, the Internet has become available as another domain. Among other things, the Internet enables us to study the â globalizationâ of an author. Techniques and methodologies similar to the ones used in the previous (p)scientometric study will be used for the analysis of the semantic space of â Tibor Braunâ as a search term. The globalization of â Tibor Braunâ can then be visualized by using a simulation.
