TL;DR
A co-citation analysis of research on acquired immune deficiency syndrome is presented, covering the years 1982 to 1987, and the relation of changes in the bibliometric structure to changes in scientific knowledge and understanding is explored.
Abstract
A co-citation analysis of research on acquired immune deficiency syndrome is presented, covering the years 1982 to 1987. Through the use of cluster strings and co-citation maps at various levels of aggregation, the development of the field is traced, including major findings and shifts in research emphasis. The implications of this case of a rapidly growing research area for the development of scientific fields in general are explored, in particular the relation of changes in the bibliometric structure to changes in scientific knowledge and understanding.

ScienceIsolation of a T-Lymphotropic Retrovirus from a Patient at Risk for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
6,880 Citations1983Françoise Barré‐Sinoussi, Jean‐Claude Chermann +10 more
From these studies it is concluded that this virus as well as the previous HTLV isolates belong to a general family of T-lymphotropic retroviruses that are horizontally transmitted in humans and may be involved in several pathological syndromes, including AIDS.
ScienceFrequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS
3,645 Citations1984Robert C. Gallo, Syed Zaki Salahuddin +11 more
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or with signs or symptoms that frequently precede AIDS (pre-AIDS) were grown in vitro with added T-cell growth factor and assayed for the expression and release of human T-lymphotropic retroviruses (HTLV).

New England Journal of MedicineAn Outbreak of Community-Acquired<i>Pneumocystis carinii</i>Pneumonia
1,425 Citations1981Henry Masur, Michael F. Michelis +9 more
Eleven cases of community-acquired Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia occurred between 1979 and 1981 and prompted clinical and immunologic evaluation of the patients, indicating that these groups may be at high risk for this infection.
New England Journal of MedicineSevere Acquired Immunodeficiency in Male Homosexuals, Manifested by Chronic Perianal Ulcerative Herpes Simplex Lesions
1,246 Citations1981Frederick P. Siegal, Carlos López +12 more
Four homosexual men presented with gradually enlarging perianal ulcers, from which herpes simplex virus was cultured, and were found to have depressed cell-mediated immunity, as evidenced by skin anergy, lymphopenia, and poor or absent responses to plant lectins and antigens in vitro.
ScienceIsolation of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
1,220 Citations1983Robert C. Gallo, Prem S. Sarin +10 more
Whether or not HTLV-I or other retroviruses of this family with T-cell tropism cause AIDS, it is possible that patients from whom the virus can be isolated can also transmit it to others.
ScienceA New Subtype of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV-II) Associated with a T-Cell Variant of Hairy Cell Leukemia
1,187 Citations1982V. S. Kalyanaraman, M. G. Sarngadharan +5 more
Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) is a human type-C RNA tumor virus (retrovirus) previously identified in and isolated from several patients with T- cell leukemias or lymphomas, but a related retrovirus has been found in a patient with a somewhat different disease.
ScienceAntibodies Reactive with Human T-Lymphotropic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) in the Serum of Patients with AIDS
1,154 Citations1984M. G. Sarngadharan, Mikuláš Popovič +3 more
Serum samples from 88 percent of patients with AIDS and from 79 percent of homosexual men with signs and symptoms that frequently precede AIDS, but from less than 1 percent of heterosexual subjects, have antibodies reactive against antigens of HTLV-III, and the major immune reactivity appears to be directed against p41, the presumed envelope antigen of the virus.

The clinical findings in eight young homosexual men in New York with Kaposi's sarcoma showed some unusual features, which suggest that such exposure to sexually transmissible diseases may play a role in its pathogenesis.
ScienceAntibodies to Cell Membrane Antigens Associated with Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus in Patients with AIDS

Serum samples from patients with AIDS and from matched and unmatched control subjects were examined for the presence of antibodies to cell membrane antigens associated with human T-cell leukemia virus.

Journal of the American Society for Information ScienceTwo medical literatures that are logically but not bibliographically connected
197 Citations1987Don R. Swanson
It is demonstrated that certain unintended logical connections within the scientific literature are unmarked by reference citations or other bibliographic clues, and may be inherently and peculiarly difficult to solve because there are virtually no references in either literature to the other.

Journal of the American Society for Information ScienceThe synthesis of specialty narratives from co-citation clusters
70 Citations1986Henry Small
A method is described for generating reviews or synopses of scientific fields called specialty narratives, applied to a co‐citation cluster in the field of cancer virology, and the resulting specialty narrative is described in relation to the structure of the original co-citation map.
ScientometricsCollagen research in the 1970s
22 Citations1986Henry Small, E. Greenlee
The institutional affiliation and funding sources for highly cited documents show a trend from early dominance by a few institutions and sources to a multiplicity and collaboration of centers and sources later on, due in part to the migration of researchers from an initially dominant institution.
ScienceAIDS-Related Brain Damage Unexplained
17 Citations1986Deborah M. Barnes
Cell types in the brain infected by the AIDS virus have been more precisely identified through use of a staining procedure which marks different cell types within a multinucleated giant cell and in situ hybridization a technique that detects AIDS viral nucleic acid.
