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. Co-citation 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.
