Abstract
Measurement of scientific literature is here considered a substantial part of the study of interdisciplinarity. It is argued that the determination of interdisciplinarity can be made through the use of scientometrics and bibliometrics. Distinction between these two methods was made. Scientometrics is viewed as the quantitative form of "science of science" and bibliometrics is viewed as the quantitative form of information science. Citation analysis is presented and discussed as the tool most used by scientometricians to determine interdisciplinarity.
