The dependence of the average future degree increment 〈Δk〉 of the top-L papers on θ in NonlinearRank with (A) c = 0.15 and (B) c = 0.45. The results in both (A) and (B) are averaged over 40 testing times t from 1960 to 1999 with the future time window as 10 years. The future degree increment loge(Δk) of papers as a function of Rp and Rn are shown in (C) c = 0.15 and (D) c = 0.45, with t = 2000, Δt = 9 years.
