The overall aim of the intended continuation of the project “The Pillars of Unity and Disciplinary Bridges” is to provide an empirical contribution to the epistemological debate about the unity of science and the practice of interdisciplinary work from a network analytical, bibliometric perspective, taking Geography as an example. During the extension phase, the overriding epistemic interest will still be focussed on the citation analytical compilation and analysis of (sub)disciplinary internal structures in Geography in the German-speaking scientific community. Whereas the project previously revolved merely around the current disciplinary structure, neglecting the temporal dimension of the structuring process, a dynamic approach will be developed in the next phase: the temporal dynamics of disciplinary development and the evolution of paradigms will therefore take center stage. The technical basis and the necessary data corpus must first be established before the research perspective can be expanded. In concrete terms, the extension phase involves the development and implementation of a scientometric monitoring tool for the longitudinal monitoring of scientific communication (“GEOcite”). The software solution GEOcite seeks to compile, collect and process extensive historical and recent citation data (from 1949 to the present). In the process, use will be made of both digital and analogue archives. Extensive digitization work will be conducted in cooperation with Göttingen State and University Library. This work will form the basis for the automated extraction of citation data, which will be undertaken in cooperation with the DFG partner project EXCITE (“Extraction of Citations from PDF Documents”, GESIS/University of Koblenz-Landau). The intention is to create and process a data corpus for analyzing current structures of disciplinary knowledge networks and their historical genesis. GEOcite will create the requirement for bibliometric network analysis, which will improve our understanding of disciplinary dynamics. The data gained will be made freely accessible, making it available long term for the empirical study of science and historical disciplinary monitoring.

“团结的支柱和学科桥梁”项目的总体目标是从网络分析和文献计量学的角度，以地理学为例，为关于科学统一性和跨学科工作实践的认识论辩论提供经验贡献。在扩展阶段，压倒一切的认识兴趣将仍然集中在引用分析汇编和分析（子）学科内部结构的地理学在德语科学界。鉴于该项目以前只围绕当前的学科结构，忽略了结构化过程的时间维度，动态方法将在下一阶段开发：学科发展的时间动态和范式的演变将因此成为中心舞台。要拓展研究视角，首先要建立技术基础和必要的数据库。具体而言，推广阶段涉及开发和实施一个科学计量监测工具，用于对科学传播进行纵向监测（“GEOcite”）。软件解决方案GEOcite旨在编译，收集和处理广泛的历史和最近的引文数据（从1949年至今）。在这一过程中，将利用数字和模拟档案。广泛的数字化工作将与哥廷根州立和大学图书馆合作进行。这项工作将为引文数据的自动提取奠定基础，这将与DFG合作伙伴项目EXCITE（“从PDF文件中提取引文”，GESIS/科布伦茨-朗道大学）合作进行。其目的是创建和处理一个数据语料库，用于分析学科知识网络的当前结构及其历史成因。GEOcite将创建文献计量网络分析的要求，这将提高我们对学科动态的理解。获得的数据将免费提供，使其长期用于科学和历史学科监测的实证研究。
