Abstract
As part of an ongoing and ambitious project to support scientific discoveries in astronomy, in particular based on the use of Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, this article addresses a number of practical issues concerning the analysis of the impact of such large-scale survey datasets on scientific discoveries in terms of trends and patterns in scientific publications that utilize the data. We take a multi-perspective approach to the analysis of the SDSS literature, namely a statistical perspective, a network analysis perspective, and a text analysis perspective. This study reveals practical issues that have theoretical and methodological implications on the applications of scientometrics and bibliometrics on astronomical literature.
