Citation analysis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Citation Analysis is the most common method of bibliometrics. Citation analysis uses citations in scholarly works to establish links to other works or other researchers.
Co-citation coupling and bibliographic coupling are specific kinds of citation analysis.
[edit] Another Person's Notes on Citation Analysis
Citation analysis is the examination of the frequency and pattern of citations in articles and books.[1] Due to unprecedented growth of electronic resource (e-resource) availability, one of the questions currently being explored is, "how often are e-resources being cited in my field?"[2] For instance, there are claims that on-line access to Computer Science literature leads to higher citation rates [3], however, humanities articles may suffer if not in print.
