Data citation and the citation graph

Fitting a graph to vector data Citation

We introduce a measure of how well a combinatorial graph fits a collection of vectors. The optimal graphs under this measure may be computed by solving convex quadratic programs and have many interesting properties. For vectors in d dimensional space, the graphs always have average degree at most 2(d+1), and for vectors in 2 dimensions they are always planar. We compute these graphs for many st...

Analyzing data citation practices according to the Data Citation Index

We present an analysis on data citation practices based on the Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters. This database launched in 2012 aims to link data sets and data studies with citations received from the rest of their citation indexes. Funding bodies and research organizations are increasingly demanding the need of researchers to make their scientific data available in a reusable and repro...

Citation and the Construction of Subdisciplinary Knowledge

The main purpose of this study was to examine the citation patterns of discussion sections employed by local and international article writers in ESP and EGP subdisciplines of applied linguistics. Eighty article discussion sections were selected from well-established local and international journals in the field of applied linguistics, and they were sorted according to Thompson and Tribble’s (2...

Metasearch Via the Co-Citation Graph

In spite of numerous search engines available on the web, no single engine is capable of performing “better” under all circumstances. This being the case, metasearch engines have appeared. One major issue in metasearch engine design is the merging problem: given the ranked lists of pages returned by multiple search engines in response to a given query, what is the best way to combine these list...
