Abstract: Abstract The neuroscience research front on Retrograde Amnesia is taken as an example to demonstratethe capabilities of co-citation mapping in combination with peer review. In an interview with awell-known expert in the field the co-citation map was confirmed as a good representation of thespeciality. The expert was able to identify and comment on different regions of the map and hecould validate important documents in the cluster core and research front as well as the mainactors on institutional and national level. The bibliometric data inspired the expert to outline thecognitive and social "history" of the speciality.
