Temporal bibliographic networks

作者：

Highlights：

• A time dimension is introduced into the analysis of bibliographic networks based on temporal quantities.

• From a traditional bibliographic network and the publication year information, the instantaneous and the cumulative temporal bibliographic networks can be constructed.

• The multiplication of networks can be extended to temporal networks and used for construction of interesting derived temporal bibliographic networks.

• Python packages Nets and TQ provide computational support for the proposed approach.
