Abstract

- A novel approach is introduced for the analysis of the distributions of citations in the body of scientific articles.
- Citations are concentrated in the first sections but sparse in other sections.
- The distributions of citations to highly cited papers are even skewed.
- References cited frequently are also cited heavily, early, and before anything else.
