All the fields in the factors table
Field name | Explanation |
incoming_links | number of citations of all the incoming links to a particular factor |
outgoing_links | number of citations of all the outgoing links from a particular factor |
outcome-ness (%) | A factor with a high outcomness percentage is mostly an outcome; it has mostly incoming links. If it has low outcomeness it has mostly outgoing links so it is mostly a driver. Outcomeness is the proportion of citations of incoming links out of all the citations of a particular factor: a normalised version of the Copeland Score (Copeland, 1951). So factors with high outcomeness can be thought of as “outcomes”. And factors with low outcomeness can be though of as inputs or drivers. |
Citation count aka Link count | Number of citations of a given factor or link |
Source count | Number of sources mentioning a given factor or link. Source count cannot be higher than citation count and may be a lot lower if some sources mentioned the same factor or link many times. |

Don’t forget that outdegree + indegree maybe greater than citation count if a factor has self-loops
