and pointing to an article. Plus citations do not always distinguish
whether they are in agreement or against the other work. (01)
If you are interested in maps of co-citation networks, please see the
exhibit Places & Spaces: Mapping Science at www.scimaps.org.
Particularly: (02)
The first map of science by Henry Small at Thomson ISI

Mapping Topic Bursts by Ketan Mane and Katy Borner
http://www.scimaps.org/dev/map_detail.php?map_id=50 most cited PNAS
articles and Mapping the Evolution of Co-Authorship Networks by Weimao
Ke and Katy Borner
http://www.scimaps.org/dev/map_detail.php?map_id=54; (04)
and Map of Scientific Paradigms by Kevin Boyack and Richard Klavans
