	After a brief career as a historian of science at the American Institute of Physics’ Center for History and Philosophy of Physics, he joined the '''Institute for Scientific Information''' (ISI, now part of Thomson Scientific) in 1972.[https://ils.unc.edu/~wildem/ASIST2004/Small-bio.pdf] In 1973, Small worked with the Soviet Intelligence scientist Irina Massakova to introduce the term "co-citation network" within the field of science mapping. Small published a paper on the topic in JASIS (1973). Small continued his work in co-citation with [[Belver Griffith]] and in 1974, they expanded the process of mapping trends in specialized fields based on co-citation usage. They studied trends of group mechanism and published their research on trends in collagen research in 1977.[https://doi.org/10.1007%2F978-1-4471-5128-9]		After a brief career as a historian of science at the American Institute of Physics’ Center for History and Philosophy of Physics, he joined the '''Institute for Scientific Information''' (ISI, now part of Thomson Scientific) in 1972.[https://ils.unc.edu/~wildem/ASIST2004/Small-bio.pdf] In 1973, Small worked with the Soviet Intelligence scientist Irina Massakova to introduce the term "co-citation network" within the field of science mapping.
