Abstract

Attempting to reveal the potential intellectual structure and dynamics in the field of science studies during the past thirty years, this study presents a domain analysis of the discipline based on co-citation analysis. 224058 citations of 10893 papers published in the six international journals in the field of science studies were retrieved from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) during 1975 to 2004. Author co-citation analysis (ACA) is applied to identify the dynamics of the intellectual structure of science studies over three 10-year sub-periods, 1975-1984, 1985-1994, and 1995-2004.
