Abstract:We contribute to understanding the evolution of science by analyzing the authorship contribution dynamics on communities given by publication venues. We introduce the concept of authorship contribution and three important properties that are applied over publications and their venues. Then, we are able to identify two moving properties and two profiles. The resulting insights shed some light on researchers' behaviors and how they move around publication venues.
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.
