The distribution of references across texts: Some implications for citation analysis
This paper applied the content-based citation analysis on the large scale data (866 full-text JASIST papers) with the focus on the location of the references and how many times one reference appearing in one citing article. It compared the difference between two counting methods: CountOne vs. CountX. It also compared the location of the references in different sections of one citing article. The major findings are: (1) the most highly cited works appear in the Introduction and Literature Review sections of citing papers, and (2) the citation rankings produced by CountOne and CountX differ.
