Liu, Chen, Liu, Lu & Murray 2026 find six LLMs over-cite popular and older papers, amplified for contrasting citations, affirming Algaba et al.'s popularity-bias finding

Niimi 2025 finds LLM bibliographic-record recall correlates with citation count (r=0.75, log-linear), becoming near-verbatim above roughly 1,000 citations

Does Simkin & Roychowdhury's copying-driven citation skew — rather than citation-count inflation generally — explain the training-corpus distribution behind GPT-4's citation-popularity bias?

Mozafari et al. 2026 find LLM popularity judgments track pretraining-exposure frequency more closely than real-world popularity signals like Wikipedia pageviews

Does Simkin & Roychowdhury's copying-driven citation skew — rather than citation-count inflation generally — explain the training-corpus distribution behind GPT-4's citation-popularity bias?

question open 2026-10-16 · citation-copying, matthew-effect, preferential-attachment, llm-citation-bias, training-data-exposure
Does GPT-4's citation-selection bias toward highly-cited papers emerge from the same copying mechanism Simkin & Roychowdhury's 2005 model uses to explain human citation preferential attachment?

The cosine-0.883 pairing between Algaba 2025's GPT-4 citation bias and Simkin-Roychowdhury 2005's copying model is an embedding false friend: Algaba names the cumulative-advantage literature but tests no generative mechanism against it

Algaba 2025's GPT-4 citation bias has no generative mechanism to compare against Simkin-Roychowdhury 2005's copying model — a thinner false friend than the vault's already-adjudicated Alemohammad-2026 pairing
