Who coined the term 'Scientometrics' ?

  • A.S.R. Ranganathan
  • B.Allen Pritchard
  • C.H.W. Hulme
  • D.Vassily V. Nallimov

Answer: D

The term was coined by Vassily V. Nalimov (spelt Nallimov in the paper).

Nalimov and Mulchenko introduced the Russian term naukometriya, scientometrics, in their 1969 book on measuring science as an information process; it means the quantitative study of science and scientific activity.

Alan Pritchard (Allen in the paper) coined bibliometrics in 1969, Ranganathan proposed librametry in 1948, and E. Wyndham Hulme used the term statistical bibliography in 1922. Each is a related metric term, which is why they are the distractors.
