studied Library and Information Science at the Humboldt University Berlin and wrote her Magister thesis as part of a project investigating the diversity of research fields using bibliometric methods. After graduating, she worked as head of library at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. She notably expanded the electronic services of the library, but also collaborated on bibliometric analyses for research evaluation of the Institute. She joined the iFQ team in June 2011.

A Case Study of the Epistemic Function of Citations - Implications for Citation-based Science Mapping.Seitz, C., Schmidt, M., Schwichtenberg, N., & Velden, T. (2021).A Case Study of the Epistemic Function of Citations - Implications for Citation-based Science Mapping. In W. Glänzel, S. Heeffer, P.-S. Chi, & R. Rousseau (Hrsg.), Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Scientometrics & Informetrics (S. 1027-1032). Leuven: KU Leuven / International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (I.S.S.I.). Abstract
The use of citations as indicators of topical relatedness of publications is common in the algorithmic mapping of the structure of science. References to source documents, however, may serve a variety of epistemic functions, and hence represent rather different dimensions of topical relatedness, such as the research methods used, the empirical objects studied, the theoretical resources build on, the research questions pursued, or the external motivation for and relevance of the work. In this case study, we explore the diversity in topical dimensions along which publications are linked in citation networks, by coding the epistemic function of in-text citations. [...] |
