Abstract: Abstract Based on a set of information science papers this study demonstrates that "all author" citationcounts should be preferred when visualizing the structure of research fields. "First author" citationstudies distort the picture in terms of most influential researchers, while the subfield structuretends to be just about the same for both methods.
