Abstract. Bibliometric information retrieval in databases can employ different
strategies. Commonly, queries are performed by searching in title, abstract
and/or author keywords (author vocabulary). More advanced queries employ
database keywords to search in a controlled vocabulary. Queries based on
search terms can be augmented with their citing papers if a research field cannot
be curtailed by the search query alone. Here, we present another strategy to dis-
cover the most important papers of a research field. A marker paper is used to
reveal the most important works for the relevant community. All papers co-
cited with the marker paper are analyzed using Reference Publication Year
Spectroscopy (RPYS). For demonstration of the marker paper approach, density
functional theory (DFT) is used as a research field. Comparisons between a pri-
or RPYS on a publication set compiled using a keyword-based search in a con-
trolled vocabulary and a co-citation RPYS (RPYS-CO) show very similar re-
sults. Similarities and differences are discussed.
Keywords: Bibliometrics, RPYS, RPYS-CO, marker paper, seminal papers, his-
torical roots, DFT
1 Introduction
Information retrieval in databases can be performed using different routes. Com-
monly, searches are performed via search terms (author vocabulary) in the full-text or
in certain sections of a paper (e. g., title, abstract, and/or author keywords). Some
databases also offer controlled vocabulary (i. e., keywords assigned by the database
producer) to be searched. Searches in author vocabulary often require a strategy
which is called "interactive query formulation" and was extensively discussed by
Wacholder [1]. This strategy was applied for example in Haunschild, Bornmann and
Marx [2] and Wang, Pan, Ke, Wang and Wei [3] to analyze the literature about cli-
mate change. A search in controlled vocabulary often needs less search terms and less
complicated queries. For example, Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4] used a rather con-
cise search query in the controlled vocabulary of CAplusSM to analyze the literature
about density functional theory (DFT), a widely used method in the field of computa-
tional chemistry.
Besides keyword searches, the citing papers of one specific key-paper (or a few
key papers) can be used to retrieve fundamental literature, see e. g., Marx, Haunschild
27
BIR 2019 Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval
and Bornmann [5]. This enables bibliometricians to cover publication sets which are
hard to narrow down using keyword searches only.
Here, we apply a methodology using a single marker paper (or a few marker pa-
pers) for retrieving the set of most influential publications of a topic. This methodolo-
gy (RPYS-CO) is based on the co-citation network of publications [6]. We will com-
pare the results from our RPYS-CO analysis with the previous RPYS analysis by
Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4] which is based on a keyword search in a controlled
vocabulary. Previously, the methodology has been applied to the history of the green-
house effect [7]. The references within the citing papers of the marker paper are used
in a RPYS (Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy) analysis. The publication set to
be analyzed contains all papers which have been co-cited with the marker paper. In
case of a few marker papers, the papers of the publication set are co-cited with at least
one of the marker papers.
RPYS is a bibliometric method for locating seminal papers and the historical roots
in publication sets covering specific research topics or fields [8]. The method analyzes
the cited references of the papers of the relevant publication set. The references most
frequently cited are analyzed in graphical and tabular forms. This provides a more
objective answer to the question about seminal papers and historical roots (based on
the "wisdom of the crowd"). Individual scientists in the field can answer this question
only subjectively. However, many scientists with knowledge in the studied field de-
liver a broader view which is the basis for the interpretation of the RPYS results.
2 Methods
2.1 Dataset used
This analysis is based on the Web of Science (WoS, Clarivate Analytics) custom
data of our in-house database derived from the Science Citation Index Expanded
(SCI-E), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and Arts and Humanities Citation
Index (AHCI) produced by Clarivate Analytics (Philadelphia, USA). Our in-house
database contains the WoS publications since the publication year 1980.
A good marker paper should be of high relevance of the field under study. As a
marker paper, we selected the publication by Becke [9] in which he proposed a very
popular density functional approximation for the exchange energy which was for
example used together with the LYP correlation functional [10] and in the very popu-
lar B3LYP functional [11]. Therefore, Becke [9] (also known as "Becke88") seems to
be a very promising candidate for a marker paper. We exported all papers (n= 34,437)
from our in-house database which cited this marker paper.
2.2 Software
We used the CRExplorer (see: http://crexplorer.net) to perform the RPYS analysis.
The program can be downloaded for free and a comprehensive handbook explaining
all functions is also available. With the program meta-knowledge [12] and the web
tool RPYS i/o [13] two other resources have been developed in recent years for doing
28
BIR 2019 Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval
cited references analyses, too. However, CRExplorer has a much broader functionali-
ty than both other resources.
2.3 Methodology
We used the CRExplorer script language to process the 668,007 unique reference
variants (n=1,992,244 cited references, CRs). The script in Listing 1 was used to
perform the RPYS analysis. The command importFile is used to import all WoS
papers citing Becke [9] which were published between 1980 and 2017. The range of
reference publication years (RPYs) is restricted to 1950-1990 in order to analyze the
same time frame as reported in Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4]. Clustering and merg-
ing equivalent CR variants is done via the commands cluster and merge. All CRs
which were referenced less than 100 times are removed via the removeCR com-
mand. The value of 100 should be adjusted to the size of the studied data set in terms
of cited references. Finally, the command exportFile is used to write the results (CR
file and spectrogram file) in CSV format to files. The R package BibPlots (see:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BibPlots/index.html and
https://tinyurl.com/y97bb54z) is used to plot the spectrograms.

3 Results
3.1 RPYS-CO with a suitable marker paper
A suitable marker paper should fulfill at least two requirements: (i) it should be cit-
ed fairly well considering the topic under study, and (ii) it should reasonably represent
the studied topic. The paper by Becke [9] is highly cited. Furthermore, Becke [9]
presents a very popular functional approximation for the exchange energy. Every
researcher using this approximation should cite this paper. Therefore, this paper pre-
sents a very good candidate for a marker paper. Other very good candidates would be,
e. g., Hohenberg and Kohn [14], Kohn and Sham [15], Lee, Yang and Parr [10],
Perdew [16], Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof [17], and Perdew, Ernzerhof and Burke
29
BIR 2019 Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval
[18]. The proper choice of suitable marker papers requires at least some knowledge of
the topic under study.
Fig. 1 shows the number of cited reference (NCR) curves for the RPYS-CO in this
study and the RPYS from Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4] for the time frame 1950-
1990. The NCR curves show differences and similarities. The peaks are positioned in
or around the same RPYs (1951, 1955, 1964/65, 1970, 1972/73/74, 1976/77, 1980,
1985/86, and 1988) but the peak heights differ. The peak papers from the RPYS anal-
ysis were discussed in Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4]. Fig. 2 shows the spectrogram
of the RPYS-CO analysis using Becke [9] as a marker paper. The peak papers of the
RPYS-CO analysis are listed in Table 1.

The CRs 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 appear in the RPYS-CO but were not mentioned in
the RPYS analysis of Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4]. These five CRs of course oc-
curred in the RPYS analysis, too, but did not seem to be as significant as in the
RPYS-CO analysis performed in this study. The other 14 CRs of the RPYS-CO also
appeared in the RPYS of Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4]. Some CRs even have very
similar NCR values, e. g., CR1 with NCR = 793 in the RPYS-CO and NCR = 737 in
the RPYS of Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4]. The largest absolute deviation between
the results of RPYS and RPYS-CO are found for the marker paper CR18 with NCR =
33,850 in the RPYS-CO and NCR = 14,150 in the RPYS. The peak in the RPY
1976/77 in this RPYS-CO is broader than in the RPYS of Haunschild, Barth and
Marx [4]. The different focus can be seen by the comparison of the NCR values of
CR10: NCR = 407 in RPYS-CO and NCR = 6506 in RPYS. Monkhorst and Pack
proposed a new method to generate special points in the Brillouin zone which enables
more efficient integrations of periodic functions. This method had much more impact
in the overall DFT community than in the publication set of our RPYS-CO.
In CR11, Ziegler and Rauk proposed a methodology for calculating bonding ener-
gies and bond distances using the Hartree-Fock-Slater method. Optimized basis sets
for 3d orbitals were presented by Hay in CR12. Hirshfeld proposed a molecular par-
tial charge analysis in CR 13. Hay presented very frequently used ab-initio effective
core potentials for molecular calculations in CRs 15 and 16. These CRs had more
impact in the publication set of our RPYS-CO than in the RPYS analysis based on
keywords as presented by Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4].
In fact, we captured the most important seminal papers in Table 1 as we can see
from ordering the CRs by the NCR value. All 10 most frequently occurring CRs ap-
pear in Table 1 except two of them (Dunning [19] with NCR = 2658 and Parr and
Yang [20] with NCR = 2263). Dunning [19] proposed very popular atom-centered
basis sets. Parr and Yang [20] is a very popular textbook about DFT. Both CRs were
published in 1989. We see that 1989 is on the lower end of the downward slope of the
1988 peak. It is a matter of choice of the scope of the analysis if such RPYs should
also be investigated. However, inspection of the most frequently occurring CRs is
always recommended. The scope of our study is on the RPYS-CO method rather than
on the seminal papers of DFT itself. Studies which have a specific topic as a focus,
should investigate the RPYS results more deeply than performed here. For example,
the CRExplorer also offers advanced indicators to discover papers with significant
impact over many citing years [21].

3.2 RPYS-CO without a suitable marker paper
In order to choose a suitable marker paper, one needs at least some insight into the
topic under study. Furthermore, a preliminary query using search terms is helpful for
determining the usual citation rate of the topic. In this section, we demonstrate, by
applying the RPYS-CO methodology iteratively, the procedure starting with a rather
poor marker paper. We choose to start with Sun, Haunschild, Xiao, Bulik, Scuseria
and Perdew [22]. This paper has been cited 69 times (date of search 05 March, 2019).
For the size of a topic like DFT, even a rather poor marker paper should not be cited
much less. This paper is a rather special paper which presents density functional ap-
proximations which have not yet been widely applied.
Listing 1 (without the command "removeCR" and the command "RPY:
[1950, 1990, false] " replaced as "RPY: [1950, 2017, false] " in
order to also capture newer papers in the initial step) is used for the initial RPYS-CO
using Sun, Haunschild, Xiao, Bulik, Scuseria and Perdew [22] as a marker paper. In
the first step, we only look at the ten most frequently occurring CRs ordered by NCR
as shown in Table 2.

We see that CR21, CR23, and CR27 were mentioned in the previous section as
possible suitable marker papers. Furthermore, CR21 has a rather similar NCR value
as our rather poor marker paper (CR20). This is already an indication that our choice
of the initial marker paper might not have been very good. Therefore, we use CR21 as
a new marker paper in the next step of the iterative RPYS-CO, this time using again
Listing 1. The resulting NCR curve is compared with the one from the RPYS by
Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4] based on a keyword search in controlled vocabulary
in Fig. 3. Both NCR curves show peaks at the same locations although the heights of
the peaks differ substantially. The RPYS-CO spectrogram using CR21 as a marker
paper is shown in Fig. 4. The corresponding peak papers are listed in Table 3. Nine
out of 14 CRs in Table 3 also appeared as peak papers in the RPYS-CO analysis us-
ing Becke [9] as a marker paper. The other five CRs also appeared in the other RPYS
analyzes although not as pronounced peak papers. CR30 studied elastic behavior of a
crystalline aggregate. CR31 discusses relations between the elastic and plastic proper-
ties of pure polycrystalline metals. Both CRs are important for several applications of
DFT to solid state physics. CR37 presents studies of electrochemical photolysis of
water at a semiconductor electrode. The latter three CRs are experimental studies
which were extensively referenced in DFT papers. The results in CR40 were used to
construct correlation functionals. In CR41, a very popular employed ansatz for mo-
lecular dynamics in DFT is proposed. The slight differences in the two RPYS-CO
analyses presented here show the different foci which can be carried over from differ-
ent maker papers into the RPYS-CO results. At least when studying large topics, it
might be advisable to perform multiple iterative RPYS-CO analyses in practice and
combine the results.

4 Discussion and Conclusions
Overall, the results of the RPYS-CO presented here and the RPYS of Haunschild,
Barth and Marx [4] are very similar although the methodology and the employed
database are quite different. Haunschild, Barth and Marx [4] started from a keyword
search in index terms of the CAplus database (controlled vocabulary of the database
provider) while the RPYS-CO performed in this study is based on papers co-cited
with one marker paper in the WoS database. Despite the different approaches, quite
similar results were obtained.
The approach of using a marker paper for finding other seminal papers in research
fields might become an interesting tool for scientists to explore their research fields in
addition to a keyword-based literature search. If a good marker paper is not known a
priori, the RPYS-CO methodology can be applied iteratively.
36
BIR 2019 Workshop on Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval
The RPYS-CO analysis has several advantages over build-in functionalities of sev-
eral databases: (i) not only source records of the database can be found but also semi-
nal papers which appear only in the cited references. (ii) The CRExplorer provides
additional analysis features, such as filtering for papers which had a significant impact
over many citing years by using the advanced indicators. (iii) The RPYS-CO method-
ology is not restricted to any database. In principle, the RPYS-CO methodology can
be applied to datasets from any database which has cited references included.
The focus on the cited references, however, has a disadvantage: Search results have
to be processed outside the database or reimported into the database. Such a reimport
is usually not complete as non-source records appear in the results of an RPYS analy-
sis.
CitNetExplorer (see http://www.citnetexplorer.nl/), a tool based on Eugene Gar-
field’s work on algorithmic historiography and the corresponding program HistCite
(the program is no longer in active development or officially supported) show the
time evolution of a given research topic via the citation network of major papers,
which have been selected before using other methods. In contrast to CitNetExplorer,
using CRExplorer and applying the RPYS-CO method aims to detect the publications
most important for the relevant community during the evolution of a given research
topic. An alternative method for retrieving relevant literature based on co-citations is
the Related Records Search function offered by the WoS. However, this method re-
trieves a publication set without any weighting with regard to the citation impact
within the relevant community.
Future work should employ other databases and look for similar marker papers in
DFT. Also, the method should be applied to other research topics.
