引用理论
Theory of citing
摘要：
我们目前的经验数据在引用12个高知名度的论文中的印刷错误。绝大多数的印刷错误与之前引用同一篇论文的文章中的印刷错误相同。印刷错误重复次数的分布遵循幂律。我们开发了一个随机模型的引用过程，解释了这些发现，并表明，约70-90%的科学引文是从其他论文中使用的参考文献列表复制。引用复制不仅可以解释为什么一些印刷错误变得普遍，而且还可以解释为什么一些论文被高引用。我们发现，一个模型，其中一个科学家挑选一些随机的论文，引用他们，并复制他们的参考文献的一小部分帐户定量的经验观察到的引文分布。
英文摘要：
We present empirical data on misprints in citations to twelve high-profile papers. The great majority of misprints are identical to misprints in articles that earlier cited the same paper. The distribution of the numbers of misprint repetitions follows a power law. We develop a stochastic model of the citation process, which explains these findings and shows that about 70-90% of scientific citations are copied from the lists of references used in other papers. Citation copying can explain not only why some misprints become popular, but also why some papers become highly cited. We show that a model where a scientist picks few random papers, cites them, and copies a fraction of their references accounts quantitatively for empirically observed distribution of citations.
