Dear Professor,
I have been reading many papers and myself I am writing paper related to bibliometric analysis. I find it very strange that some paper has mentioned 'frequency' as number of citation in countries collaborating network and some has mentioned it as number of publications. Isn't it right that if the node is reference, cited author, cited journal then the frequency meaning is numberof citation and if the node is author, institution, countries, the meaning of frequency is number of publications??

Dear Professor,
I also found that everytime we make analysis about burst we get the topic title written as '' Citation burst''. However, is it same in case of countries, institutions? In case of keywords, I read your article and found that though the title in the picture is written as ''keywords with strongest citation bursts'', it actually means occurence burst. I was thinking if it is same in case of node type author, country and institution?
