CiteSeer Citation Network
A CiteSeer digital library dataset of 384,413 nodes and 1,751,463 edges, collected by KONECT via CiteSeer database. Each record contains directed: True, weighted: False. Large directed citation network from the CiteSeer digital library — widely used in graph learning research.. Suitable for citation network analysis, graph neural networks benchmark, community detection.
