>TP: Odd that you should mention that project. If it's the one I'm
thinking
of -- and I doubt if there were two ISI projects on co-citation analyses
from the late 70s'-early 80s -- it was being done by a sociologist named
Tyler Thompson, who died in the early 1980s of cancer. He was then in hi=
s
late 30s. He was a good friend of mine, and brilliant. He did cluster
analyses from the co-citation matrices, and the "big map," as he called i=
t,
covered virtually all the journals in SCI and SSCI.>
There seems to me an opportunity, for someone, to do a similar job on the=
mailings on a list like this - and perhaps others. Anyone looking for a b=
it
of empirical memetic research?
