contents Social scientists analyze citation networks to study how documents influence subsequent work across various domains such as judicial politics and international relations. However, conventional approaches that summarize document attributes in citation networks often overlook the diverse semantic contexts in which citations occur. This paper develops the paragraph-citation topic model (PCTM), which analyzes citation networks and document texts jointly. The PCTM extends conventional topic models by assigning topics to paragraphs of citing documents, allowing citations to share topics with their embedding paragraphs. Our empirical analysis of U.S. Supreme Court opinions in the privacy issue domain, which includes cases on reproductive rights, demonstrates that citations within individual documents frequently span multiple substantive areas, and citations to individual documents show considerable topical diversity.
