20.500.12556/DKUM-66410 Self-organization of progress across the century of physics We make use of information provided in the titles and abstracts of over half a million publications that were published by the American Physical Society during the past 119 years. By identifying all unique words and phrases and determining their monthly usage patterns, we obtain quantifiable insights into the trends of physics discovery from the end of the 19th century to today. We show that the magnitudes of upward and downward trends yield heavy-tailed distributions, and that their emergence is due to the Matthew effect. This indicates that both the rise and fall of scientific paradigms is driven by robust principles of self-organization. Data also confirm that periods of war decelerate scientific progress, and that the later is very much subject to globalisation. self-organization preferential attachment evolution of progress history of physics statistical physics of social systems samo-organizacija preferenčno navezovanje evolucija napredka zgodovina fizike statistična fizika socioloških sistemov true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2017-06-23 12:33:38 2017-06-23 12:34:34 2024-05-28 10:38:04 2019-07-11 15:46:29 2013 0 0 str. 1-5 Letn. 3 2013 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2045-2322 53(091) 18727432 19833352 10.1038/srep01720 2045-2322 URN:SI:UM:DK:VWTMNC1H Scientific_Reports_2013_Perc_Self-organization_of_progress_across_the_century_of_physics.pdf Scientific_Reports_2013_Perc_Self-organization_of_progress_across_the_century_of_physics.pdf 1 39DECC47B293303AB8ED5946E11A43A3 adad0c622b29e68e960b93cb578b1d8a06c336edca927f24f3030979a12e4fc5 4b1f5d3a-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=113042 http://www.nature.com/articles/srep01720 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=113041 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
