Depth and breadth relevance in citation metrics

Breadth, Depth, and Competition

We consider the trade-offs in the choice between depth (a narrow high quality position) and breadth (a wide low quality range). In particular, the extent of depth or breadth in a market can be non-monotonic in the strength of competition.

Breadth and Depth of Semantic Lexicons

Breadth and Depth of Semantic Lexicons is based on a 1996 workshop. It represents several fundamental lines of thinking that were, and remain, a useful organization of the issues in lexical semantics, and specifically in the organization and development of new generations of lexical corpora. The volume contains very useful background discussions of classic issues in lexical semantics (e.g., Eng...

Fairer citation-based metrics

I describe a simple modification which can be applied to any citation count-based index (e.g. Hirsch’s h-index) quantifying a researcher’s publication output. The key idea behind the proposed approach is that the merit for the citations of a paper should be distributed amongst its authors according to their relative contributions. In addition to producing inherently fairer metrics I show that t...

Depth/Breadth first search with applications

Given a graph G = (V,E) and a vertex u ∈ V , we would like to explore every vertex (and every edge) reachable from u. Let n = |V | and m = |E|. The graph may be directed or undirected. We will assume that the graph is given in its adjacency list representation (rather than adjacency matrix), i.e. for each vertex u, we have a linked list adj[u] of the neighbors of u (all vertices v such that (u,...
