“…It is important to note that these early studies of syntactic CCA were conducted manually on small paper sets. Later, however, Maričić, Spaventi, Pavičić, and Pifat‐Mrzljak () conducted a citation analysis based on the location of references in more than 350 papers. Their results showed that the methods, results, and discussion sections contain more meaningful citations than the introduction section.…”
Traditional citation analysis has been widely applied to detect patterns of scientific collaboration, map the landscapes of scholarly disciplines, assess the impact of research outputs, and observe knowledge transfer across domains. It is, however, limited, as it assumes all citations are of similar value and weights each equally. Content‐based citation analysis (CCA) addresses a citation's value by interpreting each one based on its context at both the syntactic and semantic levels. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of CAA research in terms of its theoretical foundations, methodical approaches, and example applications. In addition, we highlight how increased computational capabilities and publicly available full‐text resources have opened this area of research to vast possibilities, which enable deeper citation analysis, more accurate citation prediction, and increased knowledge discovery.

“…The use of citation frequency as an indicator of influence is legitimate. It provides a measure of the past or present influence of earlier work (Boyack and Borner, 2003; Garfield, 1985; Maricic et al., 1998). All in all, citation frequencies are assumed to indicate the scientific utility of any paper, and this can be used in turn as a partial indicator of the study quality.…”
Section: Co‐authorship In the Field Of Managementmentioning
In recent decades there has been growing interest in the nature and scale of scientific collaboration. Studies into co-authorship have taken two different approaches. The first one attempts to analyse the reasons why authors collaborate and the consequences of such decision (Laband and Tollison, 2000). The second approach is based on the idea that co-authorship creates a social network of researchers (Barabási et al., 2002;Moody, 2004;Newman, 2001). In this study we have carried out an exploratory analysis of co-authorships in the field of management from the two aforementioned approaches. The results obtained show a growing tendency of the co-authored papers in the field of management, similar to what can be observed in other disciplines. Our study analyses some of the underpinning factors, which have been highlighted in the literature, explaining this tendency. Thus, the progressive quantitative character of research and the influence of the collaboration on the articles' impact are enhanced. The network analysis permits the exploration of the peculiarities of the management in comparison with other fields of knowledge, as well as the existing linkages between the most central and prominent authors within this discipline.
“…The first results of such content-based syntactic analysis were published by Voos and Dagaev (1976), showing that it is possible to use the location of the cited article as indicator of its value for the author of the citing publication. Maričić et al (1998) ranked highest the citations in the methods or results section, followed by citations in discussion and finally in introduction. In another study, Herlach (1978) concluded that the repeated mention of a given reference in the same research paper indicated a closer relationship of the citing to the cited paper.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
