## Contribution

It presents novel approaches for representing and analyzing bibliographic networks over time using temporal quantities and network operations.

## Key findings

- New methods for temporal transformation of bibliographic networks
- Insights into network evolution through temporal properties
- Derived networks reveal different perspectives on bibliographic data

## Abstract

We present two ways (instantaneous and cumulative) to transform bibliographic networks, using the works' publication year, into corresponding temporal networks based on temporal quantities. We also show how to use the addition of temporal quantities to define interesting temporal properties of nodes, links and their groups thus providing an insight into evolution of bibliographic networks. Using the multiplication of temporal networks we obtain different derived temporal networks providing us with new views on studied networks. The proposed approach is illustrated with examples from the collection of bibliographic networks on peer review.
