“…Politics is a field in which one finds such theories. Plato's Republic (2000, original c. 380 BCE) is a good example of normative theory as is Aristotle's Politics (Aristotle, 1993 original 350 BCE, original 350 BCE) though normative theories are to be found in such diverse fields as public finance (Tresch, 2002) or citing (MacRoberts & Mac Roberts, 1987). Normative theory may or may not be testable.…”

To determine influences on the production of a scientific article, the content of the article must be studied. We examined articles in biogeography and found that most of the influence is not cited, specific types of articles that are influential are cited while other types of that also are influential are not cited, and work that is "uncited" and "seldom cited" is used extensively. As a result, evaluative citation analysis should take uncited work into account.
