Pathfinder Networks and Author Cocitation Analysis: A Remapping of Paradigmatic Information Scientists.
White, Howard D.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, v54 n5 p423-34 Mar 2003
Discussion of author cocitation analysis focuses on Pathfinder Networks (PFNET) where nodes represent authors and links represent weighted paths between nodes, the weights being cocitation counts. Highlights include remapping information science; comparison with principal components analysis; a correlation-based PFNET; and AuthorLink, a Web-based system that creates interfaces for cocited author retrieval.
