Disciplinary Impact of Advertising Scholars: Temporal Comparisons of Influential Authors, Works and Research Networks

Themes and Trends in Australian and New Zealand Tourism Research: A Social Network Analysis of Citations in Two Leading Journals (1994–2007)

“…The basis of co-citation analysis is that pairs of documents that often appear together in reference lists (i.e., are co-cited) are likely to have something in common. A list of all possible pairs of works cited among all citations in a given document enables a researcher to obtain the basic data for co-citation frequencies and co-citation networks (Pasadeos et al, 1998). When two authors or papers are frequently cited together across a number of papers, there is a good likelihood that their ideas relate to each other.…”

“…Citation counts form the basis for the calculation of indices such as impact factors, h-index and g-index which aim to provide arithmetically robust indicators of research quality (Egghe, 2006;Hirsch, 2005). By analysing which authors and papers are cited frequently, citation rates and indices go beyond a simple counting of publications to an analysis of which authors and publications have value to other researchers (Pasadeos, Phelps, & Kim, 1998).

From the Editor

“…Replicating Pasadeos, Phelps, and Kim (1998) Citation or co-citation analysis often serves as an effective tool for systematic categorization in a literature review. Above all, literature review has long been one of the most important scholarly activities in all branches of science, because it serves as an essential first step to critically appraise the existing body of knowledge.…”
