Abstract

The interdisciplinary of papers and research fields could be analyzed by subject categories (SCs) of published papers’ references, but Web of Science does not offer the data of SCs of references. It is necessary to obtain SCs via references and analyze the interdisciplinary. This paper analyzes the interdisciplinary of library and information science by variety, distribution and disparity of subject categories, and visualizes it by overlay map. This method could be extended to other research fields.
