Citation Analysis (CA) is the area of bibliometrics that studies the relationship between a cited and a citing document, and it has been increasingly used to “study, map, and evaluate academic research” (Hammarfelt, 2012). The basic input for CA is a citation database and Reference Mining (RM), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) task focused on the “detection, extraction and classification of bibliographic references and their constituent components” (Rodrigues Alves et al., 2018), has been a useful computational method to obtain this information as data.
