In his paper entitled “Empirical evidence of self-organization?,” (JASIST, 2003, Vol. 54(1), pp. 87–90) Peter van den Besselaar argued that the results of Leydesdorff & Heimeriks (2001) are based on unreliable statistics. Two arguments were brought against the use of discriminant analysis in our case: 1. The predictive power of 50% of the sample in relation to the other 50% is not signiﬁcant; 2. Using simulations, discriminant analysis exhibits a prediction for random data that can be as high as for the bibliometric data.
