I'm not sure how possible this is. In academia, it's relevant and important to track citations of papers. And it's easier because academic publications have standardized formats and established standards for integrity that require those citations. Fiction is another animal entirely. How many hat tips, head nods, and explicit references does the Bobiverse have to authors, books, cartoons, etc.? It just explicitly mentioned both Rocky & Bullwinkle and Deathworld.

Is there a database doing even a half-credible job of cataloging references, citations, head nods, homages, etc. in F&SF?
