Abstract
Aims: This study examines the foundations of modern scientometrics as laid down by Derek De Solla Price who is reputed to be the founding father of scientometrics.
Methodology: A brief overview of the study of network structures was made. This was used to identify the onset of erroneous assumptions in the premise laid by De Solla Price. Established similarities between citations and voting was exploited and used to quantify the extent of the errors made in De Solla assumptions.
Conclusion: It was found out that the assumptions of De Solla Price are about 78% in error.
