Menu pathData Preparation > Database > ISI > Extract Author Co-Citation Network DescriptionExtracts the author co-citation network from an ISI database. Each author from each document in the input database is represented by a node. An edge is drawn between the nodes for two authors if and only if they were cited by a common document in your dataset. AnalysesThe output network will include the following summaries of your dataset:
Usage HintsLoad an ISI file into the tool, then create a database from it using the ISI database loader. It is strongly recommended that the database be cleaned before extracting any co-citation networks from it. For a quick analysis of a small dataset you may wish to merge together author entities with identical names. For a scientifically sound analysis of a larger dataset, you can find author entity merging suggestions (or manually set your own merging orders from scratch) and perform the merge. Then, you will probably want to merge together journal entities according to recognized variants. Finally, you must match references up to documents in your dataset (there are no citations to analyze, otherwise). Links
