Link Analysis: Citations
(relevance based on author judgments)
Some citation assumptions
If A cites (is linked to) B, then more likely that A is
related to B than to arbitrary C.
If A and B are cited by (linked from) C, then A and
B are more likely to be related than A or B to
arbitrary D.  (co-citation)
If more objects cite A than cite B, then A is more
‘valued’ than B (citation value)
If highly ‘valued’ object A cites C and less ‘valued’
object B cites C, then A’s citation is more valuable.
