The document discusses the large-scale visualization of science, focusing on bibliometric and scientometric research conducted by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University. It describes various research groups, tools like VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer, and the use of citation and publication networks to analyze scientific output and classification. Additionally, it provides insights into the structure of science across disciplines, showcasing trends and key publications in the field of scientometrics from 2010 to 2016.
