As in history writing, HistCite™ reconstructs by drawing intellectual lineages. In addition to cited references, however, documents can be attributed a multitude of other variables such as title words, keywords, journal names, author names, and even full texts. New developments in multidimensional scaling (MDS) enable us not only to visualize these patterns at each moment of time, but also to animate them over time. Using title words, coauthors, and journal names in Garfield’s oeuvre, the method is demonstrated and further developed in this paper (and in the animation at http://www.leydesdorff.net/garfield/animation). The variety and substantive content of the animation enables us to write, visualize, and animate the author’s intellectual history. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 248-260 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/10244 Title: Mapping of cholera research in India using HistCite <br/> <br/>Authors: Thulasi, K; Arunachalam, Subbiah <br/> <br/>Abstract: Cholera research in India over the past six decades has been mapped using HistCite. The analysis based on data from <i>Science Citation Index Expanded </i>reveals not only the significant papers, key players, important institutions and core journals, but also provides a visual representation of evolution of knowledge in the field showing the cognitive links between key papers both from within India and elsewhere. The seminal nature of the early work of S N De is clearly seen. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 310-326 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/10243 Title: Garfield, the science writer: His writings on health and biomedical research <br/> <br/>Authors: Mahesh, G <br/> <br/>Abstract: Garfield wrote on a wide variety of topics, especially in the area of health and biomedical research. The paper reviews over eighty of Garfield’s writings on health and biomedical research that have been published in <i>Essays of an Information</i> <i>Scientist</i>. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 303-309 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:58:59 GMT http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/10242 Title: Open access and academic reputation <br/> <br/>Authors: Willinsky, John <br/> <br/>Abstract: Open access aims to make knowledge freely available to those who would make use of it. High-profile open access journals, such as those published by PLoS (Public Library of Science), have been able to demonstrate the viability of this model for increasing an author’s reach and reputation within scholarly communication through the use of such bibliographic tools as the Journal Impact Factor, conceived and developed by Eugene Garfield. This article considers the various approaches that authors, journals, and funding agencies are taking toward open access, as well as its effect on reputation for authors and, more widely, for journals and the research enterprise itself. <br/> <br/>Page(s): 296-302 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:58:59 GMT
