Diderot (version 0.13)

Bibliographic Network Analysis

Description

Enables the user to build a citation network/graph from bibliographic data and, based on modularity and heterocitation metrics, assess the degree of awareness/cross-fertilization between two corpora/communities. This toolset is optimized for Scopus data.
