Ego Citation Networks Considered as Domination Networks

In this article we continue our study of power structures. A dynamic quantitative theory, including the measurement of power or dominance structures is applied to citation networks. A curve somewhat similar to the Lorenz curve for inequality measurement is used. We calculate the D-measure, a normalized measure expressing the degree of dominance in a network. The D-measure of a citation network consisting of the ego (the original article) with n...
