Intellectual Structure of Coronavirus Research: A Perspective From an Author Cocitation Analysis

Author cocitation: A literature measure of intellectual structure

The structure of Iranian chemistry research, 1990-2006: An author cocitation analysis

To study the structure of Iranian chemistry research, we identified 43 Iranian and international chemists who were highly cited in 7,682 Iranian chemistry publications (defined as an article with at least one Iranian author address) indexed in Science Citation Index (SciSearch) between 1990 and 2006, inclusive. We collected cocitation data for these authors from the entire SciSearch file (Dialo...

Intellectual structure of research in organizational behavior, 1972-1984: A cocitation analysis

Within all academic disciplines, researchers typically cluster into informal networks or “invisible colleges” that focus on common questions in common ways (Burt, 1977; Price, 1963). Within these networks, one scholar’s concepts and results may be picked up by another, to be extended, tested, and refined. Through this process, one person’s work builds on that of another. The history of the exch...

The Changing Structure of Decision Support Systems Research: An Empirical Investigation through Author Cocitation Mapping

This paper extends earlier benchmark study(Eom 1995) which examined the intellectual structure, major themes, and reference disciplines of decision support systems (DSS) over the last two decades (1960-1990). Factor analysis of an author cocitation matrix over the period of 1990 through 1999 extracted 10 factors, representing six major areas of DSS research: group support systems, DSS design, m...

Measuring author research relatedness: A comparison of word-based, topic-based, and author cocitation approaches

Relationships between authors based on characteristics of published literature have been studied for decades. Author cocitation analysis using mapping techniques has been most frequently used to study how closely two authors are thought to be in intellectual space based on how members of the research community co-cite their works. Other approaches exist to study author relatedness based more di...
