Knowledge Domain Analysis
Turning Points, pp 139-175

Abstract
This chapter is concerned with quantitative approaches to the study of emerging trends and changes in science. A key insight is that a domain of knowledge is determined by the perspective we choose to take. This view echoes what we have seen earlier in Chapter 3 about the role of mental models in developing our understanding of the world. We first introduce the principles of progressive knowledge domain analysis. In the second part of the chapter, we describe a new approach called multiple-perspective co-citation analysis. It is designed to shift the traditional focus from the references to papers that have been influenced by such references.
