Citation Study Assumptions
1. X cited by Y is more likely to be related to Y than arbitray A not cited.

2. X cited by Y and A not cited by Y ==> more likely that X was used in preparation of Y.

3. Y and Z cite X ==> more likely that Y and Z are related than A and B citing no documents in common.

4. Y cites X and Z ==> X and Z more likely related to each other than to A not cited by Y (not co-cited with X and Y).

based on Griffith, B.C.; Drott, M.C.; and Small, H.G. "On the Use of Citations in Studying Scientific Achievement and Communicaiton." 4-S Society for Social Studies of Science 2/3 (Summer 1977): 9-13
