Abstract

In order to investigate the relationships among citation context, the abstract and the cited target papers, and explore quantitatively the effect of the citation contexts in revealing the subject features of the cited target papers, five highly cited target papers by Circulation were screened. The citation contexts were extracted from all citing papers and the medical subject headings (MeSH terms) were matched. The pairwise comparison was performed among MeSH terms extracted from citation context, abstracts and indexed by the target paper itself. The result shows that the MeSH terms matched from the citation context is in highly conformity with that from the abstract of the target paper. The citation context can express the subject features of the target paper even better than the abstract.
