Combining multiple scholarly relationships with author cocitation analysis: A preliminary exploration on improving knowledge domain mappings

作者：

Highlights：

• Propose a new method in which author cocitation analysis is combined with general scholarly networks such as author bibliographic coupling and coauthorship network.

• Propose an algorithm to assign parameters using Explotary Factor Analysis (EFA) and symmetric Kullback-Leibler (sKL) divergence.

• Discussion the different functions of author cocitation, author bibliographic coupling, and coauthorship relationships in mapping knowledge domains.
