Abstract:
A scientific citation is usually presented as a relation between two publications without any precise meaning
and inner structure. In fact, the structure of a citation, which is usually not represented explicitly, can be
quite complex. Expanded citations, which link scientific papers and concepts from them, allow to represent
the structure in a machine-readable way. In this paper, we use expanded citations to introduce the notion of
concept flow. We briefly explore the notion and show that it opens interesting possibilities as far as concepts
and their importance in scientific domains are considered.
