| Title: | Eugene Garfield and algorithmic historiography: Co-Words, Co-Authors, and Journal Names |

| Abstract: | Algorithmic historiography was
proposed by Eugene Garfield in collaboration with Irving Sher in the 1960s, but
further
developed only recently into
HistCite™ with Alexander Pudovkin. 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. |
