Introduction

We have approached the subject of this paper - problems of citation analysis - in two ways. In the first section, we list the traditionally recognized problems of citation analysis and briefly summarize empirical research on each. In the second section, we contrast two views of science. One is the traditional view of science which explains why it was originally believed possible to use citation counts as evaluative data. We contrast this view with the constructivist view of science which explains paper writing and citing behavior quite differently from the traditional view and makes it highly unlikely that citations can be used as quality indicators.
