Abstract
Bibliometric mapping of science within a science policy context required a different approach to visualization than for IR purposes. The identification of sub-domains within a field and their unchanged definition over time is crucial. A combination of this structure with actor characteristics provides possible answers to policy related questions. A dedicated interface to enter a science map enables users to explore the field and its developments and to retrieve answers to user-defined questions from a policy perspective.
