Marcus G. Daniels
Marko,
 
LANL, Biomed Central and University of Texas?!

Bae Smith at SFI worked on some visualizations along the lines of your
plots for their working paper collection.?  Even on that small
collection just having a clean authority file (mappings of author
variant names down to one) was a substantial amount of work.  

The data cleaning and various format conversions must be a rather
menacing problem?
Can you pull the full text for the citations and do concordances and
stuff like that?
Would it be worth robo-trawling through ISI? or is that just a drop in
the bucket?  (Was thinking it might be broader coverage.)
