Reference Coupling: An exploration of inter-project technical dependencies and their characteristics within large software ecosystems

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infsof.2019.03.005
0 signed · 70 inferred · view as graph

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.
