The Effects of Co-citation Proximity on Co-citation Analysis

In this paper we investigate the effects of co-citation proximity on the quality of co-citation analysis through four experiments of co-citation instances found in full-text scientific publications. First, we compared the distributions of co-citation instances at four levels of proximity in journal articles with the traditionally used article-level co-citation counts. Second, we analyzed how co...

Time and Citation Networks

Citation networks emerge from a number of different social systems, such as academia (from published papers), business (through patents) and law (through legal judgements). A citation represents a transfer of information, and so studying the structure of the citation network will help us understand how knowledge is passed on. What distinguishes citation networks from other networks is time; doc...

Mining a Web Citation Database for author co-citation analysis

Author co-citation analysis (ACA) has been widely used in bibliometrics as an analytical method in analyzing the intellectual structure of science studies. It can be used to identify authors from the same or similar research fields. However, such analysis method relies heavily on statistical tools to perform the analysis and requires human interpretation. Web Citation Database is a data warehou...

The Structure and Dynamics of Co-Citation Clusters: A Multiple-Perspective Co-Citation Analysis

A multiple-perspective cocitation analysis method is introduced for characterizing and interpreting the structure and dynamics of cocitation clusters. The method facilitates analytic and sense making tasks by integrating network visualization, spectral clustering, automatic cluster labeling, and text summarization. Cocitation networks are decomposed into cocitation clusters.The interpretation o...
