Reference cocitation report

The reference cocitation report is a simple report that lists the references in the order that they appear on the cocitation dendrogram. For each reference, if it has a corresponding paper in the database, the title of the paper is given. This report is useful for exploring groups of references, particularly in case studies where most of the highly cited references have corresponding papers in the database. A report generator for a more comprehensive referernce cocitation report has been written but is currently undergoing revision (January, 2008).

Generating the reference cocitation report.

• To generate the reference cocitation report, on the TFGUI window, select Reports > Cocitation clusters.
• The report will appear in the project directory with the filename fred_coc.rtf.
