Using a dataset of 26,228 Psychology document surrogates from Elsevier databases, we compare author relatedness measure outcomes for 125 authors based on topic modelling to more traditional approaches that rely on direct citation, co-citation and collaboration. Outcomes for the author topical similarity measure are compared to existing co-authorships in the dataset using UCINET/NetDraw. We demo...

We propose a new direction to understanding evolutionary dynamics of complex networks.
