Primes¶
- Associative Property Transfer
- in counter-terrorism and surveillance (suspicion-by-network reasoning with high false-positive costs), and in academic reputation (citation-network prestige flow, the drag of association with a retracted paper).
This sourceDefines a PageRank-style citation-network metric in which prestige flows along citation links — a citation from a high-prestige source confers more standing — the bibliometric instance of property flowing along an associative (citation) edge.

The Eigenfactor commentary supports citation-network prestige flow only, where citations from prestigious journals count for more; it says nothing on counter-terrorism or on association with a retracted paper.
“Google's PageRank algorithm takes into account not only how many hyperlinks a web page receives, but also from where those hyperlinks come. Our Eigenfactor algorithm does something similar, but instead of ranking websites, we rank journals, and instead of using hyperlinks, we use citations”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
