"Citation Classics" Analysis: An Approach to Characterizing Interdisciplinary Research.

Chubin, Daryl E.; And Others

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v35 n6 p360-68 Nov 1984

This article adopts "citation approach" to distinguish interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research (IDR) from monodisciplinary research and begins to descrie how IDR differs from other research. Ten-year citation histories were constructed for sample of 1981 "citation classics" (over-cited articles) and examined for suspected IDR content and/or usage. Twenty-two references are listed. (EJS)
