2 HistCite TM is a large-scale computer tool for mapping science. Its power of visualization combines the production of historiographs on the basis of the analysis of co-citations of documents, with the use of bibliometrics specific indicators. The objective of this article is, to present the advantages of the new bibliometrics configuration of HistCite TM (2004) when identifying articles. The ...

Can a computer system create raw data for writing the history of science? More than 40 years ago, a report about ,,The use of citation data in writing the history of science" was published (Garfield, Sher & Torpie, 1964). It concludes (p. 33), ,,it is felt that citation analysfs has been demonstrated to be a valid and valuable means of creating accurate historical descriptions of scientific fie...

Health informatics is a relatively new research area. Over the last decade or so, research in health information has been growing at a very rapid rate, as evidenced by the large number of publications. While this growth has been beneficial to the field, it has also made understanding the scope of the field more difficult. Consequently, it is difficult to answer questions such as how the researc...

While ISSI was founded in 1993, scientometrics and bibliometrics are now at least half a century old. Indeed, the field can be traced to early quantitative studies in the early 20 Century. In the thirties, it evolved to the “science of science.” The publication of J. D. Bernal’s Social Function of Science in 1939 was a key transition point but the field lay dormant until after World War II, whe...

Using the HistCiteTM software and downloading searches of the Web of Science database we have created a master collection of 1,518 papers that have cited his work and several subset collections showing his impact in the field of scientometrics and research evaluation. Using the percentile rank indexes of his publications we have demonstrated his high impact in that area and have included a tabl...

introduction: some scholars have visualized and drawn the structure of science using different instruments and methods. one of these instruments is the histcite™ software which is exploited to draw scientific mapping according to time order. the purpose of the present research was to survey and draw the scientific structure of tehran university of medical sciences' publications in web of scienc...

To better understand the topic of this colloquium, we have created a series of databases related to knowledge domains [dynamic systems (small world/Milgram), information visualization (Tufte), co-citation (Small), bibliographic coupling (Kessler), and scientometrics (Scientometrics)]. I have used a software package called HistCite which generates chronological maps of subject (topical) collecti...

Notwithstanding Truscott's 1996 review article sparked the grammatical correction debate, no earlier bibliometric analysis has focused on publications that cited it. This study aimed to determine degree which citing had evolved and give a conceptual framework for 427 papers. used two programs, HistCite Pro VOSviewer, evaluate display data. The results visualized pro-correction side prev...

There have been many terms used to describe the One Health concept, including movement, strategy, framework, agenda, approach, among others. However, the inter-relationships of the disciplines engaged in the One Health concept have not been well described. To identify and better elucidate the internal feedback mechanisms of One Health, we employed a system dynamics approach. First, a systematic...
