# Citation breakdown by source type, group, or relationship

> Aggregates the project's in-scope citations along one axis selected by the required `dimension` discriminator: `type` (source-type leaf), `group` (source-type group), or `relationship` (owned/competitor/independent). Returns each bucket's citation count and share.
