Citation themes
Nearly every paper cites Book 1, Part 4, Section 6 and the Appendix, so those passages say little about what distinguishes one paper from another. Setting them aside, the rest of each paper’s citations fall into four themes. A paper can belong to several; it is listed under the one it leans on most.
Fitted with non-negative matrix factorisation on section-level citation profiles of the 52papers with at least three citations outside 1.4.6 and the Appendix. The names are a first reading.
