Constructing bibliometric networks: A comparison between full and fractional counting
作者：
Highlights：
• A new fractional counting approach for constructing bibliometric networks is proposed.
• The proposed fractional counting approach is compared with a traditional full counting approach.
• In an analysis of university co-authorship networks and journal bibliographic coupling networks, the two approaches yield very different results.
• For many purposes, the fractional counting approach is preferable over the full counting approach.
