Each circle represents a highly cited paper whose bibliographic information
is displayed when the user clicks on the circle. The solid lines between circles
represent the strongest co-citation links for each paper (that is, indicating
that the papers are frequently cited together); weaker links are indicated by
dashed lines. Papers close to each other on the map are generally more highly
co-cited. The most recent paper(s) are indicated in pink.
