Key Points

The study aims to explore how citation practices can create a structural bond within knowledge systems.
Analyzed citation as a transformative mechanism in research infrastructure.
Investigated the relationship between citation density and node persistence.
Examined the role of peer review and knowledge graphs in validation processes.
Found a significant correlation of ≥10% between citation density and node persistence.
Identified that unvouched nodes are subject to autophagia, undermining knowledge integrity.
