Bibliographic Coupling

One general function, biblio_coupling(), to link documents that cite the same references, and one function per weighting method.

biblio_coupling()
Bibliographic coupling edges, with the weighting method of your choice
coupling_angle()
Bibliographic coupling edges, weighted by the coupling angle
coupling_strength()
Bibliographic coupling edges, weighted by the coupling strength
coupling_similarity()
Bibliographic coupling edges, weighted by the idf-weighted cosine (SIM)
coupling_jaccard()
Bibliographic coupling edges, weighted by the relative coupling strength (Jaccard)
coupling_vladutz()
Bibliographic coupling edges, weighted by the Vladutz-Cook formula
coupling_descriptive()
Bibliographic coupling edges using the titles of the references (DescriptiveBC)
descriptive_terms()
Terms that describe why a document is related to another (DTerms)

Comparing Coupling Measures

Compute several measures at once and compare the distributions, the rankings and the gaps between the ranks of their weights.

compute_couplings()
Compute several coupling (or co-citation) measures at once
merge_weights()
Put the weights of several measures side by side, with their ranks
summarise_weights()
Summarise the distribution of the weights of each measure
correlate_weights()
Correlate the weights of several measures
overlap_top_weights()
Overlap between the strongest edges of several measures
plot_weights()
Plot the weights of several coupling measures

Bibliographic Co-citation

Functions for building co-citation type networks.

biblio_cocitation()
Co-citation edges, with the same weights as the coupling measures

Networks of Entities

Not a new measure: the coupling (or co-citation) measures, aggregated at the level of authors, journals, institutions…

entity_network()
Aggregate a coupling or co-citation network at the level of entities

Co-authorship Network

Functions for building co-authorship type networks.

coauth_network()
Co-authorship edges, with full or fractional counting
