Delayed Recognition: A Co-Citation Perspective.

A Sleeping Beauty is a publication that is apparently unrecognized by citation for some period of time before experiencing a burst of recognition. Various reasons, including resistance to new ideas, have been attributed to such delayed recognition. We study this phenomenon in the special case of co-citations, which represent new ideas generated through the combination of existing ones.

Viewing Computer Science through Citation Analysis: Salton and Bergmark Redux.

Computer science has experienced dramatic growth and diversification over the last twenty years. Towards a current understanding of the structure of this discipline, we analyze a large sample of the computer science literature from the DBLP database. For insight on the features of this cohort and the relationship within its components, we have constructed article level clusters based on either direct citations or co-citations, and reconciled them with major and minor subject categories in the All Science Journal Classification (ASJC).

Converging Interests: Chemoinformatics, History, and Bibliometrics.

Modern scientometric techniques, applied at scale, can provide valuable information that complements qualitative investigation of the accumulation of knowledge in a field. We discuss a trio of articles from computational chemistry selected from an analysis of 181 million tri-cited articles.
