Michael Spence from Stanford published an early article in ARIST in 1974. I am listing the fifteen or so papers that have cited it. <<...OLE_Obj...>> <<...OLE_Obj...>> Dick: You may ant to post this information to the ASIS-L or inform the entire membership. Gene The NY Times story says that the award came "on the strength of a single paper that Mr. Spence published in 1973 describing " market signals". This paper was published without his first initial so it was quite elusive. It appeared in the Quarterly Journal of Economics 87:355-74 (1973) and concerns "Job Market Signaling" and was cited in over 500 publications. He also published a book on that subject in 1974 which was cited over 600 times. Best wishes.

(preprint) Message-ID: at http://www.leydesdorff.net/SoSci/SoSci.pdf Can Networks of Journal-Journal Citations Be Used as Indicators of Change in the Social Sciences? (preprint version) Abstract: Aggregated journal-journal citations can be used for mapping the intellectual organization of the sciences in terms of specialties and interreading communities. In addition to indicating local change, probabilistic entropy measures enable us to analyze changes in distributions at different levels of aggregation. The Journal Citation Reports of the Social Science Citation Index for 1999 are compared with similar data for 1998. The indicators are elaborated in relation to similar developments in the Science Citation Index. Specialty formation seems a more important mechanism in the development of the social sciences than in the natural and life sciences, but the developments are volatile. The use of aggregate statistics based on the Science Citation Index is ill-advised in the case of the social sciences because of differences in the underlying dynamics. Commentaries are welcome.
