Co‐citation analysis and the invisible college

Elliot Noma

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1984, vol. 35, issue 1, 29-33

Abstract: Co‐citation analysis is based on the assumption that all citing articles view the scientific literature from a common point‐of‐view. When a co‐citation matrix is analyzed, this assumption affects measures of the dimensionality and clustering of articles. Therefore, before a co‐citation matrix is constructed, the citing articles should be limited to those written by individuals in an invisible college.
