Citation Network
Each node is an author; A → B means at least one paper by A cites a paper by B within this corpus. Orange edges = mutual citations (A cites B and B cites A). Node size = in-degree (how many other corpus authors cite this person). Labels show the 20 most-cited names. Click any node to highlight its direct citation neighbourhood.
Top 25 Most-Cited Authors (within corpus)
In-degree counts how many distinct authors in this corpus have cited this author's work. This measures influence within the field; it differs from total citation count, which reflects all citing sources worldwide.
Top 25 Bridge Authors (Betweenness Centrality)
Betweenness centrality measures how often an author lies on the shortest citation path between other authors. High betweenness = a bridge connecting otherwise separate research communities, even if not the most-cited person overall.
