ARAUJO RUIZ, Juan A e ARENCIBIA JORGE, Ricardo. Informetría, bibliometría y cienciometría: aspectos teórico-prácticos. ACIMED [online]. 2002, vol.10, n.4, pp. 5-6. ISSN 1024-9435.
Mathematical methods have been applied to the study of scientific literature since the beginning of the last century. They gave origin to bibliometry. The eagerness for measuring the results of sciences in countries and organizations made possible the appearance of informetry and sciencetometrics. There is no doubt about the existance of similar characteristics among these 3 disciplines; however, each of them has its specific object and topic of study. This paper tries to define in a synthetized way the concept and object of these disciplines as well as some theoretical and practical aspects of the sciences to which they serve as instruments.
