Fractional approach

Description

Matrix transformation from incidence matrices to citation networks, fractional counting for co-citation or fractional counting for bibliographic coupling

Usage

fractional_approach(
  A1,
  A2,
  approach = c("citation", "cocitation", "bcoupling")
)

Arguments

A1	From incidence matrix (e.g. paper and authors)
A2	To incidence matrix (e.g. author to paper)
approach	Character string, “citation”, “cocitation” and “bcoupling”

Value

Return a type of "citation network"
