What Can I Do With HistCite?

HistCite has many applications. Here are some of them:

Identify the key literature in a research field
By analyzing the results of a keyword search you can identify:

• papers important to the development of the topic

• important papers “missed” by your keyword search

• most prolific and most cited authors and journals

• other keywords that can be used to expand the collection

Analyze publication productivity and citation rates within a collection of research papers
Compare characteristics such as:

• countries and institutions that authors publish from

• most prolific and most cited authors within the groups

• citation statistics for groups and subgroups (mean and median citation rates of papers, number of authors per paper, etc.)

Reconstruct the history and development of a research field
Analyze the content of an author search and you can find:

• highly cited articles

• important co-author relationships

• earlier publications and documents important to the development of the author’s work

• time line of the authors’ publications

• view historiographs showing the key papers and timeline of a research field.
