Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not evidence of absence.

1 of the 63 references listed on this page is in the Retraction Watch database as retracted (export 2026-10-21): 10.1371/journal.pone.0132377 (notice 2026-05-28).

Dataset join, best-effort; this page does not check the publisher record. Retraction Watch data via Crossref Labs, used with credit; OpenCitations Index (CC0) and Meta (CC BY 4.0); dataset doi:10.7910/DVN/WT8VOA (CC BY 4.0).
