Author co-citation analysis (ACA) has been used to explore changes in the intellectual base of information retrieval (IR) field over two consecutive time periods: 1987-1991 and 1992-1997. Thirty-nine highly cited IR researchers were selected as research sample. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) clustering techniques (CT) create two-dimensional maps display dynamic structure IR, based on scholars citing their work these periods. Factor (FA) reveal ‘breadth’ authors’ areas. ACA offers a good...
