Abstract
A citation network is a structure of linked documents that share a
pool of authors and a pool of subjects, and via citations, provide
references to related documents that have preceded them in the
chronology of research.
In this paper we review citation networks, and survey and categorize
the operations that extract data from them.
Our goal is to create a framework against which proposed
implementations can be assessed, and to provide a basis for research
in to algorithms and techniques that might be applied to citation
networks.
In particular, we seek to extend the concept of "search" over a
citation network, to allow for ranked retrieval models in which a
wide range of factors influence the list of answers that is presented
to the user in response to a query.
