Co-Authorship Network Analysis
Co-authorship network analysis is a method that maps research collaboration patterns by treating authors as nodes and co-authored papers as edges in a network graph. The structure, density, and centrality patterns of this network reveal how researchers connect, collaborate across institutions and disciplines, and form research communities. Pioneered formally by Newman (2001), co-authorship analysis provides quantitative insights into the social fabric of science, revealing collaboration patterns, identifying scientific leaders, and detecting institutional or disciplinary boundaries.
