TL;DR
A document collection consisting of 240 articles on theoretical high energy physics is analyzed by an empirical clustering procedure in which bibliographic coupling, obtained by computer, is used to measure the relatedness of articles.
Abstract
A document collection consisting of 240 articles on theoretical high energy physics is analyzed by an empirical clustering procedure in which bibliographic coupling, obtained by computer, is used to measure the relatedness of articles. Meaningful groups of documents were produced. The clustering process is adapted to future use in the computer-generation of a classification scheme.

American DocumentationBibliographic coupling between scientific papers

The population of papers under study was ordered into groups that satisfy the stated criterion of interrelation and an examination of the papers that constitute the groups shows a high degree of logical correlation.
Journal of the ACMAutomatic Document Classification
188 Citations1963Harold Borko, Myrna Bernick
Of the ninety documents in the Validation Group which contained two or more clue words, and which could be automatically classified, 44 documents, or 48.9%, were placed into their correct categories by use of a computer formula.
IEEE Transactions on Information TheoryAn experimental study of bibliographic coupling between technical papers (Corresp.)
90 Citations1963M. M. Kessler
A single item of reference shared by two papers is defined as a unit of coupling between them and two graded criteria of coupling are defined and applied to a test population of papers to generate smaller related groups.

73 Citations1963Marco M. Kessler
The methods of bibliographic coupling were applied to 8186 papers in thirty-five volumes of the Physical Review and each case was chosen to illustrate a problem in information retrieval.
Journal of the ACMInformation Retrieval Based upon Latent Class Analysis
36 Citations1962Frank B. Baker
An information retrieval based upon Lazarsfeld's latent class analysis is proposed, which has mathematical foundations and suggests that the mathematical rationale for the former could also provide a useful theoretical basis for the latter.

The Technical Information Project at MIT is an experiment in information‐system design to provide a test‐bed facility to evaluate search strategies, to learn from direct experience what contributions modern technology can make in solving the problems of scientific exchange, and to localize those areas in the information process where technological improvements are most likely to succeed.

12 Citations1965Alfred G. Dale, Nell Dale
The paper describes a computational procedure for defining associations between words used to index a collection of documents and a retrieval model is described and the results of trial retrievals are evaluated.

The modified latent structure is derived, the numerical analysis considerations for a computer solution are presented, and an example illustrates the use of the latent class structure in both file organization and retrieval.
