- Abstract
- Co-word analysis is a technique for detecting the knowledge structure of scientific literature and mapping the dynamics in a research field. It is used to count the co-occurrences of term pairs, compute the strength between term pairs, and map the research field by inserting terms and their linkages into a graphical structure according to the strength values. In previous co-word studies, there are two indexes used to measure the strength between term pairs in order to identify the major areas in a research field - the inclusion index (I) and the equivalence index (E). This study will conduct two co-word analysis experiments using the two indexes, respectively, and compare the results from the two experiments. The results show, due to the difference in their computation, index I is more likely to identify general subject areas in a research field while index E is more likely to identify subject areas at more specific levels
