Is science becoming more interdisciplinary? Measuring and mapping six research fields over time (2009, positive): “Building on the overall science interrelationship representation (as already develop by CHEN [2003] or BOYACK et al. [2005]) among others, here we mainly seek a base upon which to situate particular research cases.”
Visualizing Bibliometric Networks (2014, background): “Examples include the work by Boyack et al. (2005) on large journal networks, the work by Klavans and Boyack (2006) on large publication networks, and the work by Skupin et al. (2013) on large term networks.”
Bibliometric Methods in Management and Organization (2015, neutral): “Almost five decades ago, Derek J. de Solla Price (1965) proposed scientific methods of science for studying science (Boyack, Klavans, & Börner, 2005).”
How to normalize cooccurrence data? An analysis of some well-known similarity measures (2009, neutral): “…and McCain, 1998), countries (e.g., Glänzel, 2001; Zitt et al., 2000), documents (e.g., Gmür, 2003; Klavans and Boyack, 2006b), journals (e.g., Boyack, Klavans, and Börner, 2005; Klavans and Boyack, 2006a), Web pages (e.g., Vaughan, 2006; Vaughan and You, 2006), or words (e.g., Kopcsa and…”
Informetrics at the beginning of the 21st century - A review (2008, background): “In a recent paper, Boyack, Klavans, and Börner (2005) experimented with several similarity measures in order to create a global map of science.”
Physical and economic bias in climate change research: a scientometric study of IPCC Third Assessment Report (2011, background): “Furthermore, scientometric studies show that journals are linked, by way of citation patterns in science at large, where a separation between the Physical, Biological and Social sciences is visible (Boyack et al. 2005; Moya-Anegón et al. 2004) and also reflected in TAR.”
The science of science: from the perspective of complex systems (2017, background): “Apart from the citation network, similarity networks between journals have been constructed and are considered the backbone of the scientific landscape [99].”
