SV: [SIGMETRICS] Qualitative citation analysis?

[Kirkegaard Nielsen, Brian]

Dear Bernie

Apart from the references mentioned by others I believe it could be
inspiring to look at two review articles:

Small, H. G. (1982). Citation context analysis. Norwood, N. J. (red.)
Progress in communication science, 3, 287-310

Liu, M. (1993). Progress in documentation the complexities of citation
practice : a review of citation studies. Journal of Documentation, 49(4),
370-408.

Let me know if this was helpful in answering your question.

With kind regards

Quick question...

Is anyone aware of any studies of citation analysis from a qualitative
perspective?

By "qualitative citation analysis" I mean looking at how the author(s) of
papers use the citations, rather than simply counting citations.

Thanks!
