The spatial bibliometrics’ method that we developed to retrieved scientific publications at the urban area level is applied in the frame of several derived works involving one or several of us.

Current Projects

The NETSCITY web application development project for spatial processing and mapping of science data – NETSCITY project coordinated by Marion Maisonobe, Guillaume Cabanac and Laurent Jégou – FMSH and Labex SMS
