Hu, Feng (author), Ma, Lin (author), Zhan, X. (author), Zhou, Yinzuo (author), Liu, Chuang (author), Zhao, Haixing (author), Zhang, Zi Ke (author)The study of citation networks is of interest to the scientific community. However, the underlying mechanism driving individual citation behavior remains imperfectly understood, despite the recent proliferation of quantitative research methods. Traditional network models normally use graph theory to consider articles as nodes and citations as...journal article 2021
