Peer and neighborhood effects: Citation analysis using a spatial autoregressive model and pseudo-spatial data

作者:

Highlights:

• Citation analysis may benefit from the use of spatial autoregressive models.

• Authors, articles, citations and so forth are intrinsically non-spatial items.

• However, they are arranged in pseudo-spaces according to several proximity measures.

• The approach proves useful to delve into the citing behavior of the nearby scholars.

• Further developments are expected in the construction of proximity matrices.
