Trends in Citation Rates to the Literature in Clustering, Classification and Related Fields (including Data Mining, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition, Spatial Statistics, Information Retrieval)

The "Classification Literature Automatic Search Service", now in its 32nd year, is provided on CD with the first issue each year of the Journal of Classification. From a "profile" of 92 journal articles or books, in 2003 there were 4239 citations to one or more of them. On the CD is the cumulative bibliographic data, from 1994 to date (2003) - ten years data, about 25,000 citations.

Appearing on the CD are also the following books, in their entirety:

1. JA Hartigan, Clustering Algorithms, 1975 (page scanned, in PDF).
2. CJ van Rijsbergen, Information Retrieval, 1979 (from source, in PDF).
3. H-H Bock, Automatische Klassifikation, 1974 (page scanned, in PDF).
4. AK Jain and RC Dubes, Algorithms for Clustering Data, 1988 (scanned in PDF).

The full list of (abbreviated) "profile" literature references is online. The format used is as follows.

First three columns give number of citations in the Science and Social Science Citation Indexes (SCI, SSCI), provided by ISI.
