English abstract

Inspired by the hypothesis that diversity of research might decline as a result of new science policy measures (e.g., evaluation-based funding), we seek to explore bibliometric methods to analyse the structure of research landscapes. The task is to make quantitative changes in the diversity of research landscapes measurable and therefore comparable in time series as well as between different countries
