Note: Completely disconnected nodes are discarded for the purposes of computing the network statistics. Hence the number of nodes does not equal total number of papers in the paper citation network.
Paper Citation Network - 2008
Description
- A directed network
- Nodes represent papers
- Edges represent a reference in one paper to another
- Many papers include references to papers outside of the network. These edges have been dropped.
- Disconnected nodes have not been included.
