Citation bias study

ISSI_2021

This folder contains a jupyter notebook for the calculation contained in the work-in-progress paper submitted to ISSI 2021
Yuanxi Fu+, Jasmine Yuan+, Jodi Schneider. “Using Citation Bias to Guide Better Sampling of Scientific Literature.” [work in progress paper] In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Scientometrics & Informetrics (ISSI2021), Virtual, July 2021. 419–424.

Jasmine

This folder contains Jasmine Yuan's work

NetworkX_migration

This folder contains files for the iGraph to NetworkX code migration
March 18, 2021: made a new file called "networkx-main" for Jasmine to update every week with her code

NetworkSimulation

This folder contains codes that simulates citation networks with varied degrees of bias.

network_generation_toy_model.py simulates a network where a paper X published in year Y has a pre-defined probability p (derived from the observed network) to cite a paper Z published in prior years. A random number is drawn, if the random number is smaller than or equal to to the probability p, we will assign a citation relationship from X to Z.
