On the public citation graph

A look at Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scirus: comparisons and recommendations

0 signed · 56 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.
