People have been studying and publishing about citation network analysis in the sciences for decades, aided immensely by the database that supports the Science Citation Index and related products. Are we destined to "rediscover" these concepts because the older works are not easily available online?

Scientometrics is the granddaddy of SNA. Gene Garfield and Derek Price figured out all of this in the 60's... and Garfield founded ISI and Science Citation Index -- he still works in the field and attends ASIS&T. Also the famous book by Crane in 1972 on Virtual Colleges uses citation networks to look at related groups of researchers.

Once again a CS researcher "invents" something librarians and information scientists have been doing for decades!
