Scientific discovery and topological transitions in collaboration networks
We analyze the advent and development of eight scientific fields from their inception to maturity and map the evolution of their networks of collaboration over time, measured in terms of co-authorship of scientific papers. We show that as a field develops it undergoes a topological transition in its collaboration structure between a small disconnected graph to a much larger network where a gian...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Scientific Discovery: the Spread of Ideas and Structural Transitions in Collaboration Networks
The work described in this report identifies the quantitative social structures of collaboration that support and are developed as new scientific fields emerge. Our results suggest how the process of creating new concepts, techniques and a shared research program develop at the advent of successful fields via the increased interaction between scientists exploring different aspects of a problem....

متن کاملAnalysis of Scientific Collaboration Networks
In scientometrics, the quantitative study of science, network analysis has become a prominent tool. The kinds of networks most frequently examined have been citation networks (mapping links between publications based on references) and collaboration networks (mapping the collaborative relationships between researchers based on joint publications) [Mil04][New01]. Collaboration networks are at th...
متن کاملCoauthorship networks and patterns of scientific collaboration.
By using data from three bibliographic databases in biology, physics, and mathematics, respectively, networks are constructed in which the nodes are scientists, and two scientists are connected if they have coauthored a paper. We use these networks to answer a broad variety of questions about collaboration patterns, such as the numbers of papers authors write, how many people they write them wi...
