A Journal Profiling and Co-citation Study of SIMULATION: The Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International

摘要

Our purpose in this paper is to extract quantitatively derived observations about a corpus of information centered on the publications of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS), which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2012. Since its inception, the Society has widely disseminated the advancements in the field of Modeling & Simulation (M&S) through its peer-reviewed journals. In this paper we profile research that has been published in the journal SIMULATION: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International. We use two forms of content analysis, namely, journal profiling and co-citation analysis. It is expected that this paper will lead to further appreciation of the contribution of the Society in influencing the growth of M&S as a discipline and in steering its future direction.
