The structure of the Arts & Humanities Citation Index: A mapping on the basis of aggregated citations among 1,157 journals
@article{Leydesdorff2011TheSO, title={The structure of the Arts \& Humanities Citation Index: A mapping on the basis of aggregated citations among 1,157 journals}, author={Loet Leydesdorff and Bj{\"o}rn Hammarfelt and Alkim Almila Akdag Salah}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2011}, volume={abs/1102.1934} }
Using the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) 2008, we apply mapping techniques previously developed for mapping journal structures in the Science and Social Sciences Citation Indices. [] Key Method The relations among these subsets are explored using various visualization techniques. However, we were not able to retrieve this structure using the Institute for Scientific Information Subject Categories, including the 25 categories that are specific to the A&HCI. We discuss options for validation such as…
