Including a list of Top 50 linked to posts(citations), a list of Top 50 linked to authors and Top 15/Top 1000 linked to authors charts.

Charts are limited to 15 authors to keep labels legible.

Only one link per unique author/post combination is counted towards the total.

Only the first link per unique author is counted towards the total.

Top 1000 author charts

As it often happens with complex, interconnected social systems, the distribution of links follows power law.

50 most linked authors list

The ranking formula is the same for authors and posts: number_of_unique_linking_authors^2 + number_of_unique_linking_authors * n_of_links. This means that the ranking score will grow quadratically with the number of unique authors and linearly with the number of links.
