Currently, countries with the highest human development index (HDI) dominate the production of ecological research. This is problematic because ecology is a discipline that is highly relevant to the challenges facing countries with lower indices. We characterize the full state of current inequity at the authorship and editorial levels, investigating the relative role of gross domestic product (...

BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the co-authorship networks in three successful Iranian academic research centers, in order to find the association between the scientific productivity and impact indicators with network features in a case study. METHODS We searched for English articles of the three research centers. We drew co-authorship maps of each center and calculated social network measures...

This article identifies the underlying patterns of collaboration and scientific co-authorship among geographically dispersed Korean researchers, using the most reliable longitudinal citation data available. The network indicators of centrality, network density, and network fragmentation are used to present the evolving network of co-authorship relations among sixteen Korean provinces and metrop...

The editorial board of the Korean Journal of Family Medicine has received several queries, especially regarding publication ethics. Among the many areas of research publication ethics, the authorship dispute has been one of the most popular issues. Some authors may request the addition of an extra author or removal of others. Sometimes, they want co-authorship (co-first authorship or co-corresp...

The main scientific event for academics working in the field of Business Process Management is the International BPM Conference. In this paper, social network analysis techniques are used to unveil the co-authorship networks that can be derived from the papers presented at this conference. Links between two researchers are established by their co-authorship of a paper at one of the conference e...

Despite attempts at clear direction in international, national and journal guidelines, attribution of authorship can be a confusing area for both new and established researchers. As journal articles are valuable intellectual property, authorship can be hotly contested. Individual authors' responsibilities for the integrity of article content have not been well explored. Semi-structured intervie...

Some real-world authorship analysis applications require techniques that scale to thousands of documents with little or no a priori information about the number of candidate authors. While there is extensive research on identifying authors given a small set of candidates and ample training data, almost none is based on real-world applications of clustering documents by authorship, independent o...
