citation-network

separate

Build and visualize a citation network from a source/target CSV to identify key papers, communities, and emerging hotspots; use when you have citation pairs and need fast literature review or trend analysis.

When to use

• You have a citation relationship table (who cites whom) and want to quickly turn it into a directed network for analysis.
• You are conducting a literature review and need to identify influential papers (high in-degree / centrality) and core clusters.
• You want to detect community structures (research subfields) and compare them across time or datasets.
• You need an interactive, shareable visualization (HTML) or a Gephi-importable graph file (GEXF).
• You are positioning a new project and want evidence of research hotspots and bridging papers between communities.

When not to use

• Do not proceed when required input files, identifiers, parameters, or context are missing — ask the user to provide them first.
• Do not assume capabilities beyond this skill's declared scope when the user requests external operations or inferences.
• Do not proceed without user confirmation when overwriting existing results, executing high-cost batch operations, or expanding task scope.
