Abstract

A new application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to the field of scientometrics and S&T indicators (STI) is here reported. GISSTI (Geographic Information System for S&T indicators) is a system aimed at exploring the possibilities of GIS for managing scientific information and obtaining input and output STI. The main advantages of the system are its capacity for: managing geographically referenced information, automatically calculating statistics and indicators, and graphically, cartographically and interactively displaying them; and for supporting layered views of spatial data, allowing them to overlay different layers of STI, together with other layers of geophysical, environmental and socio-economic data. These characteristics make it particularly useful for the analysis of disciplines with a significant territorial component, such as the environment, earth sciences or natural resources.
