Question: How to create Intercitation Matrix with Sitkis and Ucinet?

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Dear Martin, 
 
If you use my program ISI.exe (at
http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/isi/index.htm ), you can crosstable the
files au.dbf and cr.dbf in MS-Access using the field (nr) for the
relationship. This should immediately provide you with the asymmetrical
matrix for which you are looking. 
 
Note that the numbers may easily be hugh (but Office 2007 seems to have
almost unlimited capacities). 
 
Best wishes, 
 
 
Loet

Subject: [SIGMETRICS] Question: How to create Intercitation Matrix with
Sitkis and Ucinet?



I am trying to determine amongst a set of 235 authors downloaded from WoS
who intercites each other in terms of incitations  (cited/indegrees) and
outcitations (citing/outdegrees) by using Sitkis and Ucinet. I could not
find any clarification in the Sitkis user manual on how to do this.
Searching the forums and the Web I do see that many have done similar
intercitation studies, but it is unclear to me what particular Sitkis and
Ucinet functions they used. In particular, I wonder how to use Sitkis/Ucinet
to create the assymetrical binary intercitation matrix. Does anyone know a
good web site/article/book that describes this or could anyone explain how
this works?

Your help is much appreciated. Regards,
