Bibliographic coupling: a main path analysis from 1963 to 2020

Resumen

Introduction: This paper applies a unique citation-based method to analyse the development trajectory of bibliographic coupling research from 1963 to 2020. Method: Main path analysis is applied to a citation network created based on bibliographic data retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index of the Web of Science. Analysis: The analysis incorporated two major phases of basic bibliometrics (publication and citation trends, highly cited authors and core journals) and main path analysis. Results: A total of 223 papers on bibliographic coupling by 461 authors were identified. The papers were cited 5,575 times across ninety-three journals. The main paths, consisting of twenty-six documents, were further divided into emergence, opening, and consolidation periods on the basis of their publication date. Conclusions: This paper is the first to present the development trajectory of bibliographic coupling research. It not only emphasises how current state-of-the-art bibliographic coupling developed but also highlights critical studies in the field.
