The 12th International conference on scientometrics and informetrics

This paper presents an approach for identifying similar documents that can be used to assist scientists in finding related work. The approach called Citation Proximity Analysis (CPA) is a further development of co-citation analysis, but in addition, considers the proximity of citations to each other within an article‟s full-text. The underlying idea is that the closer citations are to each other, the more likely it is that they are related. In comparison to existing approaches, such as bibliographic coupling, co-citation analysis or keyword based approaches the advantages of CPA are a higher precision and the possibility to identify related sections within documents. Moreover, CPA allows a more precise automatic document classification. CPA is used as the
