Fig. 4: The LLM-SE and LLM-LE Analysis for the Citational Distortion Phenomenon.
From: Leveraging LLM-based agents for social science research: insights from citation network simulations

a LLM-SE: the reference selection proportion driven by country-related information, grouped by papers from different countries. b The citational distortion result figure from (Gomez et al. 2022). c LLM-LE: the β evolution trend in different experimental conditions, which shows that preferential attachment causes β coefficient exceeding.
