The number of scientific papers grows exponentially in many disciplines. The share of online available papers grows as well. At the same time, the period of time for a paper to loose at chance to be cited anymore shortens. The decay of the…
Concepts and methods of complex networks have been employed to uncover patterns in a myriad of complex systems. Unfortunately, the relevance and significance of these patterns strongly depends on the reliability of the data sets. In the…
Computer science has experienced dramatic growth and diversification over the last twenty years. Towards a current understanding of the structure of this discipline, we analyze a cohort of the computer science literature using the DBLP…
Co-authorship graphs (that is, the graph of authors linked by co-authorship of papers) are complex networks, which expresses the dynamics of a complex system. Only recently its study has started to draw interest from the EC community, the…
Science and technology are becoming increasingly collaborative. This paper aims to explore the factors and mechanisms that impact the dynamic changes of collaborative innovation networks. We consider both collaborative interactions of…
The paper addresses the stability of the co-authorship networks in time. The analysis is done on the networks of Slovenian researchers in two time periods (1991-2000 and 2001-2010). Two researchers are linked if they published at least one…
An important aspect of a Euclidean network is its link length distribution, studied in a few real networks so far. We compute the distribution of the link lengths between collaborators whose papers appear in the PhysicalReview Letters (PRL)…
Multilayer network science has emerged as a central framework for analysing interconnected and interdependent complex systems. Its relevance has grown substantially with the increasing availability of rich, heterogeneous data, which makes…
In this paper, we explore a set of novel features for authorship attribution of documents. These features are derived from a word network representation of natural language text. As has been noted in previous studies, natural language tends…
We propose a model of the evolution of the networks of scientific citations. The model takes an out-degree distribution (distribution of number of citations) and two parameters as input. The parameters capture the two main ingredients of…
The development of suitable statistical models for the analysis of bibliographic networks has trailed behind the empirical ambitions expressed by recent studies of science of science. Extant research typically restricts the analytical focus…
Many features of complex systems can now be unveiled by applying statistical physics methods to treat them as social networks. The power of the analysis may be limited, however, by the presence of ambiguity in names, e.g., caused by…
Technological innovation is intimately related to knowledge creation and recombination. In this work we introduce a combined statistical and network-based approach to study collaboration in scientific authorship. We apply it to characterize…
Useful information about scientific collaboration structures and patterns can be inferred from computer databases of published papers. The genetic programming bibliography is the most complete reference of papers on GP\@. In addition to…
Progress in science has advanced the development of human society across history, with dramatic revolutions shaped by information theory, genetic cloning, and artificial intelligence, among the many scientific achievements produced in the…
The shift from individual effort to collaborative output has benefited science, with scientific work pursued collaboratively having increasingly led to more highly impactful research than that pursued individually. However, understanding of…
This work is a study of the properties of collaboration networks employing the formalism of weighted graphs to represent their one-mode projection. The weight of the edges is directly the number of times that a partnership has been…
From its inception at the beginning of the eighties, with milestone results and ideas such as quantum simulation, the no-cloning theorem, and quantum computers, quantum information has established itself over the next decades, being…
Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior…
Our current knowledge of scholarly plagiarism is largely based on the similarity between full text research articles. In this paper, we propose an innovative and novel conceptualization of scholarly plagiarism in the form of reuse of…
