The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A comparison of two techniques for bibliometric mapping: Multidimensional scaling and VOS (2010, methodology): “We argued that the most appropriate measure for normalizing co-occurrence frequencies is the so-called association strength (e.g., Van Eck & Waltman, 2007b; Van Eck et al., 2006).”
A unified approach to mapping and clustering of bibliometric networks (2010, methodology): “In the case of mapping, it has been shown that the above approach is equivalent to the VOS mapping technique (Van Eck & Waltman, 2007; Van Eck et al., 2010), which is in turn closely related to the well-known technique of multidimensional scaling.”
Bibliometric visualisation: an application in tourism crisis and disaster management research (2019, methodology): “VOSviewer can be used for viewing bibliometric maps of authors and journals based on co-citation data and can construct maps of keywords based on co-occurrence data (van Eck & Waltman, 2007, 2010).”
Software survey: VOSviewer, a computer program for bibliometric mapping (2009, methodology): “Instead, it uses a similarity measure known as the association strength (Van Eck and Waltman 2007b; Van Eck et al. 2006).”
VOSviewer: A Computer Program for Bibliometric Mapping (2009, methodology): “A more elaborate discussion of the VOS mapping technique, including an analysis of the relation between the VOS mapping technique and multidimensional scaling, is provided by Van Eck and Waltman (2007a).
