Research topics and research communities are not disconnected from each other: communities and topics are interwoven and co-evolving. Yet, scientometric evaluations of topics and communities have been conducted independently and synchronically, with researchers often relying on homogeneous unit of analysis, such as authors, journals, institutions, or topics. Therefore, new methods are warranted that examine the dynamic relationship between topics and communities. This paper examines how research topics are mixed and matched in evolving research communities by using a hybrid approach which integrates both topic identification and community detection techniques. Using a data set on information retrieval (IR) publications, two layers of enriched information are constructed and contrasted: one is the communities detected through the topology of coauthorship network and the other is the topics of the communities detected through the topic model. We find evidence to support the assumption that IR communities and topics are interwoven and co-evolving, and topics can be used to understand the dynamics of community structures. We recommend the use of the hybrid approach to study the dynamic interactions of topics and communities. 相似文献

This study examines collaboration dynamics with the goal to predict and recommend collaborations starting from the current topology. Author-, institution-, and country-level collaboration networks are constructed using a ten-year data set on library and information science publications. Different statistical approaches are applied to these collaboration networks. The study shows that, for the employed data set in particular, higher-level collaboration networks (i.e., country-level collaboration networks) tend to yield more accurate prediction outcomes than lower-level ones (i.e., institution- and author-level collaboration networks). Based on the recommended collaborations of the data set, this study finds that neighbor-information-based approaches are more clustered on a 2-D multidimensional scaling map than topology-based ones. Limitations of the applied approaches on sparse collaboration networks are also discussed. 相似文献

Predicting the number of coauthors for researchers contributes to understanding the development of team science. However, it is an elusive task due to diversity in the collaboration patterns of researchers. This study provides a learning model for the dynamics of this variable; the parameters are learned from empirical data that consist of the number of publications and the number of coauthors at given time intervals. The model is based on relationship between the annual number of new coauthors and time given an annual number of publications, the relationship between the annual number of publications and time given a historical number of publications, and Lotka's law. The assumptions of the model are validated by applying it on the high-quality dblp dataset. The effectiveness of the model is tested on the dataset by satisfactory fittings on the evolutionary trend of the number of coauthors for researchers, the distribution of this variable, and the occurrence probability of collaboration events. Due to its regression nature, the model has the potential to be extended to assess the confidence level of the prediction results and thus has applicability to other empirical research. 相似文献

The publication credit allocation problem is one of the fundamental problems in bibliometrics. There are two solutions which do not use any additional information: equal weights measure and the Shapley value. The paper justifies the equal weights measure by showing equivalence with the Shapley value approach for sharing co-authors performance in specific games. 相似文献

Discovering author impact: A PageRank perspective 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This article provides an alternative perspective for measuring author impact by applying PageRank algorithm to a coauthorship network. A weighted PageRank algorithm considering citation and coauthorship network topology is proposed. We test this algorithm under different damping factors by evaluating author impact in the informetrics research community. In addition, we also compare this weighted PageRank with the h-index, citation, and program committee (PC) membership of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) conferences. Findings show that this weighted PageRank algorithm provides reliable results in measuring author impact. 相似文献
