Analysis Of A Decade In Library Literature: 1994-2004, Kelly D. Blessinger, Michelle Frasier-Robinson

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in publication and citation in library and information science journals over a decade (1994-2004) of the literature. This examination revealed the areas of concentration within the research, frequently published subjects through the years, and the characteristics of the top-cited authors and resources during this time. This information allows those in the field to follow the trends in publication, gives researchers the tools to determine which journals might give their work the most exposure and recognition, and can help libraries to make collection management decisions in this subject area.

HistCiteTM is a large-scale computer tool for mapping science. Its power of visualization combines the production of historiographs on the basis of the analysis of co-citations of documents, with the use of bibliometrics specific indicators. The objective of this article is, to present the advantages of the new bibliometrics configuration of HistCiteTM (2004) when identifying articles. The analysis of the histograms that produces HistCiteTM in terms of cumulative advantage and aging of the citations. And the comparative study of the resulta of HistCiteTM, in its indicators of amplitude and recognition. Also is examined its treatment of the sampling problems, by …
