[Sigmetrics] references for scientific document citation networks

[Loet Leydesdorff]

Dear Mark, 

At http://www.leydesdorff.net/software/citnetw/index.htm , you can find the
program citnetw.exe that generates a direct citation network in the Pajek
format from WoS downloads. As you will know, the size of Pajek files
(edgelist) are only limited. The program which was developed for various
reasons is still under development and I am writing the paper. 

Best,
Loet

Dear Sigmetrists,

It is relatively easy to find (via e.g. Google Scholar) research on
collaboration networks, co-citation networks, journal to journal citation
networks, etc. However I find surprisingly little on the obvious topic of
article-to-article citation networks. I have a vague memory of seeing this
done for something like arXiv.org or DBLP, but have not been able to find
it. I did find one paper claiming to have built such a network with 236000
nodes by searching Journal Citation Reports - I have no idea how that could
be done on a reasonable budget.

Any hints to where to look would be greatly appreciated.
