The co-authorship network of scientists represents a prototype of social networks. By mapping the graph containing all relevant publications of members in an international collaboration network: COLLNET, we infer the structural mechanisms that govern the topology of this social system. Structure of the network effect not only individual's collaboration pattern deeply, but knowledge flowing process profoundly. However, a single view is not enough to grasp the characters of the network in details. We have to either produce global view on the structure of the network as a whole, or make a detailed inspection of some features of individuals. In this paper, some techniques for analyzing complex networks (different approaches to identify "interesting" individuals and groups, analysis of internal structure of the main core and hierarchical clustering) and visualizations of their parts are presented on the case of COLLNET collaboration graph.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
