title: Changes in the basic experimental parameters of capillary gas chromatography in the 20th century.
abstract: Studies of qualitative changes in capillary gas chromatography are of significant practical and scientific interest. This paper analyzes the evolution of the most important experimental chromatographic parameters over the last three decades and is based on the use of a new approach to scientometrical research that is referred to as applied scientometry. One essential feature of this approach is that it looks at the entire contents of each paper rather than only taking account its title, abstract. and references (as is typical for conventional scientometry). In this paper, we monitor how the most important chromatographic parameters, such as column length and diameter, layer thickness, stationary liquid phases, separation temperature mode. etc., have been evolving over the period 1970-2000. We used data from the following journals: Chromatographia, Journal of Chromatography, and Journal of High Resolution Chromatography and Chromatography Communications.
