Authors Analysis

When to use it

Use it when your question is about the structure of a field rather than a single effect.

Turns citation, co-authorship, keyword and temporal flows into a research map — where the field is dense, who its centres of influence are, and where the bridges and disconnects sit.

Limitations and scope

• Results are conditional on the studies, corpus and parameters you supply, and on the chosen model. The analysis summarises the evidence as reported; it does not establish causation.
• Every figure carries its source, and every run is reproducible bit-for-bit from the same inputs, parameters and engine version.

In this family

• Bibliometric OverviewHeadline descriptives: production, growth, top sources, authors and keywords.
• Sources AnalysisSource productivity and core journals via Bradford’s Law zones.
• Documents AnalysisMost-cited documents and the words that travel with them.
• Intellectual StructureCo-citation and bibliographic coupling — the intellectual base and research fronts.
• Social StructureCollaboration networks across authors, institutions and countries.
