Graph system G15 Realm V, volume 16 of 42
Citation, cocitation, and bibliographic coupling graph
Which works cite which sources, and which share citation neighborhoods?
Researched designNot deployed
Question§
Which works cite which sources, and which share citation neighborhoods?
Nodes§
Work; Cited source; Citation occurrence
Relationship sketch§
- work → cited source
- two works → shared reference projection
- two sources → jointly cited projection
Evidence inputs§
Resolved citations, source locators, document versions, and duplication provenance.
Implementation§
Maintain the directed citation graph first. Cocitation connects items cited together; bibliographic coupling connects works sharing references. Label derived edges and formulas, not endorsements.
Acceptance checks§
- Derived projections can be recomputed from citation records
- Copied source lists do not count as independent evidence
- A citation is inspected before treating it as support
Do not infer§
Being cited together does not imply identity, agreement, quality, or ranking equivalence.
Publication boundary§
Respect source licenses; publish only permitted citation data.
Source basis§
S14, S37, S40. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
