The problem with these kinds of citations is that they are time determined, that is to say paper X will never come to reference paper Y because paper X came first, thus resources that exist first will accrue more rank using a non-hypermedia citation system.

In order to rank papers I think you would instead have to rank people, so that the people who have written on Paper X can in Paper Z reference the authors of Paper Y.

But of course it would need a CiteRank of equivalent quality to pagerank to be at all useful.
