Abstract

Scintometric is a branch of library and information science. Scintometric tools can be used to measure and compare the scientific activities at various levels of aggregation including institutions, sectors, provinces and countries. They can also be used to measure research collaborations, to map scientific networks and to monitor the evolution of scientific fields. In this paper mainly visualizing the scientific publication of ultrasonics during 2004-2014, indexed in the Web of Science (WoS), a renowned database published online by the Thomson International, (formerly Institute for Scientific Information), Philadelphia. Scientometrics is the study of quantitative aspect of science as a discipline. These refers to component fields related to the study of dynamics of disciplines as reflected in the production of their literature.
