Copied citations create renowned papers? | | M.V. Simkin

8 May 2003 | | Journal: | Annals Improb. Res. vol. 11 No. 1, pp. 24-27, 2005 | | Subject: | Disordered Systems and Neural Networks; Physics and Society | cond-mat.dis-nn physics.soc-ph | | Abstract: | Recently we discovered (cond-mat/0212043) that the majority of scientific citations are copied from the lists of references used in other papers. Here we show that a model, in which a scientist picks three random papers, cites them,and also copies a quarter of their references accounts quantitatively for empirically observed citation distribution. Simple mathematical probability, not genius, can explain why some papers are cited a lot more than the other. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0305150 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
