Abstract

The domain of citation network is taken as the sample and its citation data is retrieved and downloaded from the ISI WoS. With HistCiteTM and Pajek, the main path of the sample domain is extracted and visualized. Main path viewed as seeds literature, the largest core weak components network and converged sub-groups are identified, which are associated with the main path and can enrich the domain evolving structure. It is a new method to identify domain evolving structure on the base of connectivity of citation network.
