This document explores the standards for science metrics and the classification of scholarly communication as governed by socio-cognitive and institutional dynamics. It highlights three primary changes: shifting socio-political regimes, global socio-cognitive transformations, and local institutional arrangements. The study discusses the dynamics of journal evaluation and citation analysis, introducing integrated impact indicators and fractional counting for field normalization. Conclusions emphasize the shift from descriptive statistics to hypothesis testing, utilizing nonparametric statistics for citation distribution analysis, alongside measures for assessing interdisciplinarity.

Conclusions • From descriptive statistics to significance testing; • Use nonparametric statistics for skewed citation distributions; • Integrated Impact Indicator (I3); Rao-Stirling Diversity measure for interdisciplinarity; • Test observed against expected!
