Software plays an increasingly critical role in science, including data analysis, simulations, and managing workflows. Unlike other technologies supporting science, software can be copied and distributed at essentially no cost, potentially opening the door to unprecedented levels of sharing and collaborative innovation. Yet we do not have a clear picture of how software development for science ...

This work aims to explore whether the sustainability of scientific collaboration including collaboration duration and collaboration times can be predicted. For this purpose, we propose a series of features including structural similarity indices, authorship properties, and research interests. Experimental results on a real-world dataset show that our proposed model outperforms baseline model by...

0963 T he scientifi c enterprise refl ects the willingness of scientists to collaborate implicitly with people they don't know personally: investigators routinely obtain antibodies, enzymes, sterile supplies, and other items from commercial suppliers without hardly blinking, and often without knowing anything about the companies other than what appears on the sales brochures. This system works ...

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...

The analysis of scientific collaboration networks has contributed significantly to improving the understanding of how does the process of collaboration between researchers and also to understand how the evolution of scientific production of researchers or research groups occurs. However, the identification of collaborations in large scientific databases is not a trivial task given the high comp...
