Mapping the intellectual structure in the area of humanities: Visualizing citation networks




  • Matteo Romanello (German Archaeological Institut): Exploring citation networks to study intertextuality in classics. Filmed at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.

    Jill Walker Rettberg’s Visualizing Networks of Electronic Literature maps the fragmentary and dynamic field of electronic literature by analyzing citations in 44 doctoral dissertations published between 2002 and 2013. Applying “distant reading” strategies to the ELMCIP Knowledge Base, Rettberg identifies key works in the field, shifting genres, and changing approaches to scholarship.
