Citation networks emerge from a number of different social systems, such as academia (from published papers), business (through patents) and law (through legal judgements). A citation represents a transfer of information, and so studying the structure of the citation network will help us understand how knowledge is passed on. What distinguishes citation networks from other networks is time; doc...

this paper aims to study the performance of the international journal of information science and management (ijism) over a decade using scientometric approach. it also tries to study the                     co-authorship network of authors and institutions using different macro- and micro-level social network analysis metrics. a total of 173 articles published in 23 issues of the ijism covering...

This study examines the social network of scholars in the field of Communication by using author co-citation data. A matrix containing the number of co-cited documents between pairs of authors is created for social network analysis of scholars who are on the editorial board of Journal of Communication, and the networked map of the scholars is used to visualize the knowledge structure of the fie...

How does the structure of a network (e.g. its organization into groups or communities) impact the interaction among its nodes? In this paper we propose a generic methodology to study the correlation between complex networks interactions and their community structure. We illustrate it on a blog network and focus on citation links. We first define a homophily probability evaluating the tendency o...

Abstract We put under experimental scrutiny the preferential attachment model that is commonly accepted as a generating mechanism of the scale-free complex networks. To this end we chose citation network of Physics papers and traced citation history of 40,195 papers published in one year. Contrary to common belief, we found that citation dynamics of the individual papers follows the superlinear...

We analyse the large-scale structure of the journal citation network built from information contained in the Thomson-Reuters Journal Citation Reports. To this end, we take advantage of the network science paraphernalia and explore network properties like density, percolation robustness, average and largest node distances, reciprocity, incoming and outgoing degree distributions, as well as assor...

We propose a model for an evolving citation network that incorporates the citation pattern followed in a particular discipline. We define the citation pattern in a discipline by three factors. The average number of references per article, the probability of citing an article based on it’s age and the number of citations it already has. We also consider the average number of articles published p...

This paper rationalizes …rm’s motivation to build directed links with each other and formalizes the dynamic formation process that generates the observed network structure in the citation network. Random meeting of customers and …rms in the di¤erentiated goods market are unlikely to result in perfect match between demand and supply, but the …rm can earn commission fee by redirecting the custome...

Could legal importance of a judicial decision be established by analyzing its position in a case law citation network? A network of nearly half a million citations was used to test a great variety of social network algorithms against three external benchmarks. All these algorithms were outperformed by a tailored variant of degree centrality. Furthermore, regression analysis was used to explore ...
