arxiv_citation — arXiv citation networks (1993-2003)

Description

Citation networks among papers posted on the arXiv e-print repository in two categories of high energy physics, phenomenology (HepPh) and theory (HepTh). The data cover papers posted from January 1993 to April 2003 (124 months), beginning a few months after the inception of arXiv, and were originally released as part of the 2003 KDD Cup (with data provided by P. Ginsparg and arXiv). A directed edge $i \to j$ means that paper $i$ cites paper $j$. Only citations among papers in the data set are included: citations to or from papers outside of it are not recorded.

The networks have the following properties:

  • (Node) name: the arXiv identifier of the paper within its category, as an integer, i.e. without the leading zeros (e.g. 9301253 is hep-ph/9301253, and 1001 is hep-th/0001001).
  • (Node) date: the date the paper was first submitted to arXiv (YYYY-MM-DD). In HepPh, the dates are those published by SNAP, and are empty for the 3,988 papers without a date there; in HepTh, they are SLAC's submission dates from the original KDD Cup 2003 data, available for all papers (SNAP's file of HepTh dates is a copy of the HepPh one).
