Citation mapping is a technique used to visually explore and analyze the relationships within scholarly literature. It helps identify influential research, key authors, and trace the development of ideas and research trends. The process typically starts with one or a few “seed papers”. These papers are interconnected based on their direct citation relationship and their similarity.

Bibliographic coupling and co-citation are two key methods used in citation analysis to explore relationships between scholarly papers.
E.g. if both Paper A and Paper B cite Paper C and Paper D, they are considered similar because they share references (C and D).
E.g. if both Paper A and Paper B cite Paper C and Paper D, then Paper C and Paper D are considered similar because they are co-cited by the same group of papers (A and B). |
