Title: The view from Garfield’s shoulders: Tri-citation mapping of Eugene Garfield’s citation image over three successive decades
Abstract: Tri-citation analysis mapping of Eugene Garfield's Citation Image authors (those frequently co-cited with him) is used to identify the major research networks and topics that are linked to his highly cited publications in three successive decades, 1978-87, 1988-97, and 1998-2007. Major research topics that build on Garfield's work— represented by Citation Image author constellations— include mapping of science, evaluative bibliometrics, scientometrics, webometrics, and sociology of science. Twenty-three of Garfield's publications are highly cited by one or more constellations in at least one of the three decades. Five publications span all three decades and two—his monograph Citation Analysis and his Science article on journal evaluation — are highly cited by all constellations in all decades.
