The effect of citation behaviour on knowledge diffusion and intellectual structure

作者:

Highlights:

• We provide a novel analysis direction that explores the potential value of citation data, which models citation behaviour.

• We designed a novel approach for identifying citation behaviour trends based on the distribution of highly-cited, medium-cited, and lowly-cited papers on reference lists.

• We investigated the effect of different citation behaviour trends on knowledge diffusion and intellectual structure.
