Authorship attribution is a natural language processing task that has been widely studied, often by considering small order statistics. In this paper, we explore a complex network approach to assign the authorship of texts based on their mesoscopic representation, in an attempt to capture the flow of the narrative. Indeed, as reported in this work, such an approach allowed the identification of...

In this paper, we analyze a major part of the research output of the Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) community in the period 2000 to 2016 from a network analytical perspective. We focus on the papers presented at the European and U.S. NKOS workshops and in addition four special issues on NKOS in the last 16 years. For this purpose, we have generated an open dataset, the ”NKOS bi...

We propose a new direction to understanding evolutionary dynamics of complex networks. We focus on two different types of collaboration networks—(i) academic collaboration networks (co-authorship); and, (ii) disaster collaboration networks. Some studies used collaboration networks to the existence of specific network topologies (structure) and preferential attachment as a structuring factor (Mi...
