TL;DR
A centroid scalling method is proposed that scales citing articles as close as possible to the articles they reference and aids in the interpretation of the resultant configuration.
Abstract
Scientific articles may be represented as points in a space whose spatial pattern reflects some of the substantive and social structures of science. The proximity of articles and the documents they reference leads to a centroid scalling method proposed in this paper. This method scales citing articles as close as possible to the articles they reference. The simultaneous scaling of citing and cited articles in a common space aids in the interpretation of the resultant configuration.

The fundamental hypothesis is that dissimilarities and distances are monotonically related, and a quantitative, intuitively satisfying measure of goodness of fit is defined to this hypothesis.

The program is proposed as a tool for reductively analyzing several types of psychological data, particularly measures of interstimulus similarity or confusability, by making explicit the multidimensional structure underlying such data.

The results of two kinds of test applications of a computer program for multidimensional scaling on the basis of essentially nonmetric data are reported to measures of interstimulus similarity and confusability obtained from some actual psychological experiments.

Using block modeling of data from a sociometric questionnaire, the patterns of social structure shown by authors of two highly cocited clusters of biological-science papers are analyzed to show that the authors of papers in the clusters form social groups.
