Abstract

Changes in knowledge production reflect and drive societal change. A systematic large-scale analysis of the evolution and spread of printing activity over time and geography can thus highlight key moments of transformation in history. Better understanding of the emergence of the printing press, scientific disciplines, conceptual change, or the timing of these events, can provide new quantitative information, and help to uncover overlooked patterns in knowledge production and public discourse.
