The Economics of Citation

In this paper, we study the citation decision of a scientific author. By citing a related work, authors can make their arguments more persuasive. We call this the correlation effect. But if authors cite other work, they may give the impression that they think the cited work is more competent than theirs. We call this the reputation effect. These two effects may be the main sources of citation bias. We empirically show that there is a citation bias in Economics by using data from RePEc. We also report how the citation bias differs across regions (U.S., Europe and Asia).

Variational Calculation of the Hydrogen Molecular Cation Using Maple

The variational calculation of the energy of the Hydrogen Molecular (H2+) Cation's LCAO-MO for the sigma and sigma* states as functions of the AO's screening constant and the internuclear distance is carried out explicitly in great detail.

Variational Calculation of the Hydrogen Molecular Cation using Maple (II). The pi and pi-star Orbitals

The pi and pi-star orbitals of the hydrogen molecular cation are obtained using Maple in the same manner as the sigma and sigma-star orbitals were obtained in paper-36.
