Mapping Economics through the Journal Literature: An Experiment in Journal Cocitation Analysis
K. McCain. Journal of the American Society for Information Science, (1991)
Abstract
The article reports on an experiment in journal cocitation analysis. The scholarly journal is the major formal channel in which research and other scholarly activities are recorded and communicated. Through citation analysis of the references in journal articles, bibliometricians can identify the "core" literature of various fields of scholarship as represented in their journal literature and study synchronous and diachronous patterns of literature aging. Cocitation analysis with its emphasis on patterns of similarity of use, demonstrating subject relatedness, would seem to be an equally appealing way of studying the organization of the journal literature.
