“…Broadly speaking, “citation analysis is the generic expression indicating the construction of indicators by using the number of citation as a basic information unit” (Todeschini & Baccini, , p. 49). Applied to the historiography of science, it has long been used, among other purposes, to evaluate the impact of a specific author, text, or journal on a scientific field (e.g., de Bellis, ; Garfield, ; Herubel, ; Kryzhanovsky, ; Scharnhorst & Garfield, ; Solla Price, ; Tejasen, ). In the same vein, historians of psychology have relied on citation analysis to provide a historical account of intellectual activity and influences within the field (e.g., Brozek, 1969a, b, , , ; Carvalho Neto et al, ; Goodman, ; Simonton, ; Walters, ).…”

In recent decades, various studies have challenged the traditional view that John Broadus Watson's Behaviorist Manifesto prompted a psychological revolution. However, methodological hindrances underlie all these attempts to evaluate the impact of Watson's study, such as the absence of comparative parameters. This article remedies this problem by conducting a comparative citation analysis involving Watson and eight other representative psychologists of the time:

References from a single scientific journal were analyzed to show how the persuasive communities created by scientific references change over time. Articles that appeared in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London were sampled over the journal's 325-year history of publication, to identify and characterize the references made in them. The data highlight changes in the practice of scholarly reference, and provide quantitative measures of the evolution of scientific publication. Types of publications, and the origin, language and age of the materials cited, were analyzed for the period studied. These measures show how persuasive communities have changed, and provide insights into the character of the scientific communities in question.
