Abstract

This paper presents a citation analysis of the cognitive structure of current cardiovascularresearch. Used methods are co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling and quantitative analysisof title words. Tables and graphs reveal: (1) The journal co-citation structure; (2) the cognitivecontent and the bibliometric structure of clusters based on co-citation; (3) the cognitive contentand the bibliometric structure of clusters based on bibliographic coupling. A predominance ofdifferent research aspects on coronary artery disease was found in clusters based on co-citations aswell as in clusters based on bibliographic coupling.
