Modelling citation networks

Abstract: The distribution of the number of academic publications as a function of citation count for a given year is remarkably similar from year to year. We measure this similarity as a width of the distribution and find it to be approximately constant from year to year. We show that simple citation models fail to capture this behaviour. We then provide a simple three parameter citation network model using a mixture of local and global search processes which can reproduce the correct distribution over time. We use the… Show more

“…Several authors have noted this increasing in various fields of knowledge (e.g., Bonilla et al, 2015;Goldberg et al, 2015;Simsek et al, 2013), pointing out it may be causing bias on indexes commonly used to determine the impact of a journal (Goldberg et al, 2015).…”

“…There are different indicators to indicate the degree of influence of a magazine or paper in a particular field of study. Commonly used are the inclusion of the journal in prestigious indexing databases such as the Web of Science (Merigó, Gil-Lafuente, & Yager, 2015), their annual impact factor (Garfield, 1972;Glanzer & Moed, 2002) and 5-year impact factor (Amin & Mabe, 2003;Campanario, 2011), the number of papers published in a period of time (Goldberg, Anthony, & Evans, 2015), the number of citations received (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Podsakoff, & Bachrach, 2008), the h-index (Hirsch, 2005;Hirsch & Buela-Casal, 2014), the ratio cites/paper (Merigó, Mas-Tur, Roig-Tierno, & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2015), or the ratio papers/year (Goldberg et al, 2015).…”

“…Association networks are found in many domains, such as networks of citation patterns across scientific articles [1][2][3], networks of actors co-starring in movies [4][5][6], networks of regulatory influence among genes [7,8], and networks of functional connectivity between regions of the brain [9,10]. The rules defining edges in association networks are not the same.…”
