Tóm tắt

AbstractWhile bibliographic coupling (BC) as a measure of relatedness between documents was proposed a full decade before co‐citation, interest in applying BC to mapping the intellectual structure of research areas has only recently resurged, perhaps because it allows researchers to circumvent problems of the so far dominant co‐citation analysis. Especially for mapping the intellectual structure of a research field as represented by its authors, author co‐citation analysis (ACA) has frequently been applied over the last two decades, but no author BC analysis has so far been attempted. In this paper, we define author BC and conduct an author BC analysis of the Information Science field using the same dataset as that used in our previous ACA study, which covers Information Science during 1996‐2005. We find that these two citation‐based author knowledge network analysis methods complement each other, with one providing a more realistic picture of the state of research within the IS field and the other revealing the structure of both internal and external influences on the IS research. In combination, the two methods provide a more comprehensive view of the intellectual structure of the IS field than either of them alone.
