COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MARCH 26,1996 PSA#1559National Science Foundation, CPO - Contracts Branch, 4201 Wilson Blvd.,
Suite 475, Arlington, VA 22230 R -- DEVELOPMENT OF BIBLIOMETRIC (LITERATURE-BASED) INDICATORS OF
SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PUBLICATION AND CITATION ACTIVITY SOL SRS
96-002 POC Danny Price, Contract Specialist, 703/306-1242. The National
Science Foundation (NSF) is soliciting proposals for development of
bibliometric (literature-based) indicators of science and engineering
publication and citation activity. Development of these indicators is
needed to extend current time series for the ''Science and Engineering
Indicators'' report series for the years 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997 or
to develop new bibliometric time series through 1997. Summary and
detailed tables of these time series data will be needed in both hard
copy and electronic format. Bibliometric measures are constructed from
articles and citations to articles which report on science and
engineering research and are published in learned journals all over the
world. The scope of work includes development of a wide variety of
measures such as publication and citation counts by country, sectoral
outputs, and measures of scientific process and cooperation, e.g.,
co-authorship and citation patterns in and across various science and
engineering disciplines, sectors,and countries. These data are used in
the Congressionally-mandated reports of the National Science Board,
such as ''Science and Engineering Indicators,'' and for other
analytical needs of the NSF as well. Contractors interested in
receiving a copy of the solicitation should submit a written request,
as telephone requests will not be honored. However, written requests
may be telefaxed to (703) 306-0280. The applicable SIC code is 7379,
and this requirement is a 100% set-aside for small business concerns.
It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or about
April 26, 1996. See Numbered Note(s): 1. (0082) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0048 19960325\R-0007.SOL)
