However, most of them merely concentrated on the properties of graphs or networks rather than take the contribution of authors to publications and the semantic information of publications into consideration.

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has recommended that authorship credit should be based on substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or ana...
