|
proportions |
A vector of proportions of citations to different disciplines of a single publication. Since the elements of this vector are proportions, they need to be within the interval [0,1]. |
similarity |
A positive semi-definite matrix that encodes the similarity between disciplines, as explained in Porter and Rafols (2009).
The dimensions of this matrix are n x n, being n the total number of disciplines.
The number of rows and the number columns of this matrix need to be equal to the length of |
