Content-based author co-citation analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• This study proposes a content-based author co-citation analysis (ACA) method for measuring the similarity between co-cited authors by considering author's citation content.

• We extract citing sentences from the full-text articles in the information science domain and calculate the author similarity between two authors using citing sentence similarity.

• We compare our method with traditional ACA and analyze the differences between traditional ACA and our proposed content-based ACA.

• The results show that our approach provides more details about the sub-disciplines in the domain than with traditional ACA.
