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.
