Topical Impact Analysis.
A New Informetric Indicator for the Assessment of a Scientific Institution

This paper presents new specific values regarding the topical impact analysis.
These values make comprehensible statements that provide concrete comparative
output to describe the differences between an initial topical map and
an impact map. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the topical scope any
institution has with its output. The Know-Center, an institute for knowledge
technology in Graz, acts as a case study. To collect the citations, we used the
reference search at Scopus. All publications of the Know-Center from 1st
January 2003 until 31th December 2012 have been covered. According to the
study, there is a high rate of new topics in the impact whereat durable topics
have a higher occurrence comparing to the Know-Center’s output.
