Search strategy, construction and use of citation networks, with a socio‐scientific example: “Amorphous semi‐conductors and S.R. ovshinsky”

Abstract

Abstract The deductions which may be made from inspection of a citation map of the literature are briefly described, and a search algorithm is given for the construction of such maps. Following the construction and assessment of a network describing the development of amorphous semiconductors, it is concluded that citation diagrams are a valuable aid for socio‐scientific studies.

No public copy is stored for this record, so only the metadata is cited.

Stored only when both papers are in the corpus — 18 citations exist upstream.

Papers that cite the same references — the relational fallback while embeddings are still backfilling.
