Co-citation in the Scientific Literature: A New Measure of the Relationship Between Two Documents

Small, Henry

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 24, 4, 265-269, Jul-Aug 73

A new form of document coupling, co-citation, is defined as the frequency with which two documents are cited together. Clusters of co-cited papers provide a new way to study the specialty structure of science. They may provide a new approach to indexing and to the creation of SDI profiles.
