Identity-creators and image-makers: Using citation analysis and thick description To put authros in their place

摘要

We describe the step involved in constructing authors' citation identities (whom they cite) and citation image (who cites them). Familiarity with the intellectual, social, and institutional connections of these authors over time helps inform the analysis and augment the specificity of citation counts. Our study shows that authors' writing and referencing styles constitute a form of watermark for their scholarly output.
