This paper examines the intellectual structure of evaluation by means of citation analysis. By using various article attributes and citation counts in Google Scholar and (Social) Science Citation Index Web of Science, we analyze all articles published in Evaluation and Program Planning from 2000 until 2012. We identify and discuss the characteristics and development of the field as reflected in the history of those citations.

We report additional safety, pharmacodynamic, and biomarker data from the double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose part of the ongoing mivelsiran Phase 1 study (NCT05231785).
