Abstract:
Objective: This study presents the results of an author co-citation analysis
of the interdisciplinary field of medical informatics.

Methods: An author co-citation analysis was conducted for the years 1994 to
1998, using the fifty most-cited American College of Medical Informatics
fellows as an author population. Co-citation data were calculated for every
author pair, and multivariate analyses were performed to ultimately show the
relationships among all authors. A multidimensional map was created, wherein
each author is represented as a point, and the proximity of these points
reflects the relationships of authors as perceived by multiple citers.

Results and Conclusion: The results from this analysis provide one
perspective of the field of medical informatics and are used to suggest
future research directions to address issues related to better understanding
of communication and social networks in the field to inform better provision
of information services.
