Alejandro Espinosa-Rada @aespinosarada.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

4/n 📌 Highlights: – Citations favor recent & cognitively consistent work – Tight coauthoring groups are co-cited more often – Citation behavior is not just individual: it’s embedded in collaboration networks

110

Alejandro Espinosa-Rada @aespinosarada.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

3/n Our data: Chilean astronomers (2013–2015) 🔧 Method: Relational Hyperevent Model (captures group-based events like coauthoring and citing) 💡 Key insight: Coherent groups of coauthors are more likely to be co-cited together — social structure reinforces cognitive links.

110

Alejandro Espinosa-Rada @aespinosarada.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

2/n We ask: Why do researchers cite what they cite? Beyond content relevance, we consider how social ties (coauthorship) and cognitive continuity shape citation choices. Think of citation as the tip of a longer collaborative and intellectual process.

120

Alejandro Espinosa-Rada @aespinosarada.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

1/n The before mentioned paper uses a Group-Oriented Relational Hyperevent Model to explore how collaboration networks shape citation behavior among researchers. Title: “Socio-cognitive networks between researchers”

Alejandro Espinosa-Rada @aespinosarada.bsky.social · 03/11/2025
