Scientomics /ˌsaɪənˈtɒmɪks/ noun [uncountable]
- The large-scale, data-intensive study of the scientific enterprise itself, analyzing science as a complex adaptive system. Scientomics applies computational and statistical methods to massive datasets to model the structure, dynamics, and evolution of scientific knowledge.
Scientomics seeks to model how scientific ideas originate, propagate, and decline within institutional, cognitive, and social networks.
- The interdisciplinary field concerned with diagnosing and improving the performance, integrity, and governance of the scientific enterprise through quantitative and systems-level analysis.
Through scientomics, policymakers can anticipate epistemic bottlenecks and optimize the design of funding, peer review, and discovery workflows.
Origin: Early 21st century: formed from science + -omics, by analogy with genomics and economics, denoting a comprehensive, system-wide field of study.
