Scoring the resourcefulness of researchers using bibliographic coupling patterns

Networks constructed from citation and publication data can be mined to find top-ranking authors or papers using graph-theoretic algorithms. This article proposes an indicator called the ``follow-score `` that identifies which authors are the most resourceful to ``follow `` in terms of referencing p...
