Outsiders vs Insiders

Outsider Score combines three metrics: (1) Low self/coauthor citation rate, (2) High contrarian citation stance (CONTRASTING + REFUTING), and (3) High cross-community citation rate. Higher scores indicate authors who engage broadly beyond their immediate network.

Citation Stance Analysis

Contrarian Score = (CONTRASTING + REFUTING citations) / Total citations. High scores indicate authors who actively challenge or critique existing work rather than only providing supporting citations.
