Yet, researchers and practitioners in this field have lacked clear theories to guide their work. As early as 1981, then doctoral student Blaise Cronin published "The need for a theory of citing" ?a call to arms for the fledgling scientometric community to produce foundational theories upon which the work of the field could be based. More than three decades later, the time has come to reach out the field again and ask how they have responded to this call. This book compiles the foundational theories that guide informetrics and scholarly communication research. It is a much needed compilation by leading scholars in the field that gathers together the theories that guide our understanding of authorship, citing, and impact. 606 $aScholarly publishing 606 $aCommunication in learning and scholarship 610 $acitations, scholarly communication, impact factor, web science. 615 0$aScholarly publishing. 615 0$aCommunication in learning and scholarship. 676 $a070.5 700 $aSugimoto$b Cassidy R$4auth$01354949 702 $aSugimoto$b Cassidy 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404125903321 996 $aTheories of informetrics and scholarly communication$93358854 997 $aUNINA
