The pre-print authors all have long publication histories.
Pagerank was inspired by academic citation networks; it just turned it in a recursive matrix problem (of which there was some prior literature).

The authors are not using their own prior work in the paper, thats the point I was trying to make. I have worked in biotech lab for couple years and its one of the criteria's people use to consider some ones work useful and worth the time.
