Study on global science and social science entropy research trend

Abstract

In this paper the methods of bibliometric analysis were used to investigate the global entropy research trend based on the SCI and SSCI database, which can be employed to study the global research trend. The paper number, subjects, journals, countries, institutes, authors, citations and funding agencies were analyzed respectively on each published papers. As a concept emerged firstly from science, entropy was then extended rapidly to social science as a typical example of such concept extensions. The bibliometric analysis results make out that great academic successes were made on global entropy research and a great success were obtained from science to social science research. Entropy related researches were funded by many funding agencies and countries so that some high quality productivities were published. It is the excellent scientists as well as sufficient foundations that brought the extension on entropy from science to social science in the last two decades.
