I actually spent a few months putting one together a few years ago using PLOS, and it was actually fun.

Unfortunately outside of PLOS and arXiv, the APIs for building the graphs just don't exist.

Here's one of the better graphs I generated: https://github.com/drewbuschhorn/DoctorMoon/raw/gh-pages/Scr...

https://github.com/drewbuschhorn/DoctorMoon

which is a graph centered from Why Most Published Research Findings Are False - PLoS - Ioannidis JPA

Which was a great center case to work from since his name is misspelled often in the literature, and he's done lots of work in PLOS.

Never could get anyone interested in it, but email me at drewbuschhorn @ gmail.com if anyone has any questions.

The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System[0] has an API[1], though I am not sure it has all the information one would need to create such a graph.

Thanks! I had seen the main site, which I had used lightly in analyzing arxiv papers, but I'd completely missed that they had a library on github.
