Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co‐citation analysis (ACA) ‐ the way co‐citation counts are defined. Co‐citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co‐citation counting ‐ the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non‐traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non‐traditional author co‐citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first‐author co‐citation counting when the same number of top‐ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)

Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
