Where are Ideas Coming from, and Going to? - Measuring citation flow in academic communities

This is the overview page for the incoming/outgoing citation flow of many computer science conferences, using data from microsoft academic graph. For a general discussion of why, what and how, see the overview blog post. For other visualizations on this dataset, see the citation survival summary page, or links for individual conferences below.

The colored half-wheels above summarizes the overall amount of citation between a conference in question (gray node in the center) and the top 25 other conferences or journals that cites or are cited by this venue. The thickness of the edges denote the amount of citations in either direction; the blue edges denote references, or incoming information flow for this conference; the red edges denote citations, or outgoing infomration flow. The node colors are shaded and sorted by the ratio of incoming vs outgoing information flow – the node corresponding to the conference itself is white, due to equal in/out citations and with usually thick edges.
