Abstract:
HistCite(TM) is a system that generates chronological maps of subject
(topical) collections resulting from searches of the Institute for
Scientific Information Web of Science (WoS) or Science Citation Index,
Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index on
CD-ROM. WoS export files are created in which all cited references for
source documents are captured. These bibliographic collections are processed
by HistCite, which generates chronological tables as well as historiographs
that highlight the most-cited works in and outside the collection. Articles
citing the 1953 primordial Watson-Crick paper on the structure of DNA will
be used as a demonstration. Real-time dynamic genealogical historiographs
will be shown. HistCite also includes a module for detecting and editing
errors or variations in cited references. Export Files of five thousand or
more records are processed in minutes on a PC. Ideally the system will be
used to help the searcher quickly identify the most significant work on a
topic and enable the searcher to trace its year-by-year historical
development.
