Abstract: Bibliometric maps of science are landscapes of scientific research fields created by\n\nquantitative analysis of bibliographic data. In such maps the 'cities' are, for instance,\n\nresearch topics. Topics with a strong cognitive relation are in each other's vicinity and\n\ntopics with a weak relation are distant from each other. These maps have several\n\ndomains of application. As a policy supportive tool they can be applied to overview\n\nthe structure of a research field and to monitor its evolution. This book contributes to\n\nthe development of this application of bibliometric maps.
