The dynamics of triads in aggregated journal–journal citation relations: Specialty developments at the above-journal level
作者：
Highlights：
• Most citation links between journals do not persist year after year.
• Journal pairs can be agglomerated into specialties through triadic closure.
• Increasing triadic closure indicates integration at the above-journal level.
• Local integration maxima point us at substantive developments in the sciences.
• Large multidisciplinary journals show highest integration levels during 2011–2013.
