- QUOTE: … Simple citation counts give researchers an idea of "who cites whom," but lack the ability to identify networks of interconnections among scholars. A more sophisticated citation analysis technique is known as co-citation analysis, a form of document coupling which measures the number of documents that have cited any given pair of documents (Culnan 1986, p. 158). Once all citations in a given document have been recorded, a list of all possible pairs of works cited by that document can be obtained. Repeating that procedure for a large number of documents selected on the basis of a set of discrete criteria (all articles in economics journals in 1980-1989, for instance), enables the researcher to obtain co-citation frequencies and co-citation networks (Üsdiken and Pasadeos 1995, p. 509).
A co-citation network is constructed by drawing a line between two documents if they are cited together by a number of other works. The strength of co-citation depends on the number of sources that cite both documents, and can be represented by the number or size of lines linking the two documents (Tankard, Chang, and Tsang 1984, p. 91).
The usefulness of co-citation networks is apparent when one considers that they represent linkages among a number of authors or among a number of published works. Such networks help assess a field's cumulative tradition and reference disciplines at the level of the individual author or published paper instead of the more macro level of journal title (Culnan 1986).

- QUOTE: A new form of document coupling called co-citation is defined as the frequency with which two documents are cited together. The co-citation frequency of two scientific papers can be determined by comparing lists of citing documents in the Science Citation Index and counting identical entries. Networks of co-cited papers can be generated for specific scientific specialties, and an example is drawn from the literature of particle physics.
