Abstract:
A bibliometric study using the dissertations of the technical sciences maintained in Lithuania in
1940-1990 was conducted. Quantitative parameters, location of dissertations, social groups and
scientific schools of Lithuanian scientists were analysed.
There were used three bibliometric methods in this study:
• the analysis of the flow of dissertations;
• analysis of co-authorship;
• analysis of citation.
Scientific schools in the field of technical sciences of Lithuania were identified using the
social-communicative model.
