Citation Analysis and Dynamics of Citation Networks

Michael Golosovsky is an experimental  physicist and he has been doing research and  teaching physics  in  the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 1988. He  published  more than 100 papers in the peer-reviewed journals in the fields of solid state physics, biophysics, and complex networks.  During last decade he focused his attention on citation networks and  brought to this interdisciplinary field  his expertise in planning and performing measurements. Basing on these measurements, he  succeeded in building a physical, data-based model of citation dynamics.
