Resumo
Scientific studies about bibliographic productions in specific areas of science are becoming
common, mainly in the last decade. Such investigations usually make use of bibliometric
indices to evaluate relevance of the actors that take part in scientific production
process, such as: authors, institutions, venues, and subfields of the scientific area being
considered. Many studies have investigated the scientific production in computer science
under different views. In this work, its presented an analysis about the production of scientific
article in computer science and an analysis of citations among subfields, derived
from article citation network. The work present novelty not only because it considers
many common sense fields in computer science, but also because it presents citation related
measures chronologically. The following bibliometric measures were used: number
of publications in each subfield, number of citations received by a subfield, Impact Factor,
PageRank, and a measure of diversity of subfields that cite a given subfield. Most of
those metrics were proposed to study articles, web pages or scientific journals and they
had to be adapted to be applied to the subfield analysis. This work has derived many interesting
information to computer science community. It presents an historical evolution of
the computer science subfields, showing how interest in publishing in subfields and how
citations among subfields have evolved during the years. Some trends are revealed, some
patterns are recognized to be stable along the time and some subfields are becoming less
attractive than others.
