Analysis of bibliographic networks

Teachers: Vladimir Batagelj, IMFM Ljubljana and AMI UP Koper Daria Maltseva, International laboratory for Applied Network Research, Moscow

Bibliographic networks consider different types of relations between publications and their authors, thus underlying different patterns of collaboration in science (co-authorship, co-citation, citing). Data for such networks can be quite easily obtained from special bibliographies (BibTEX) and bibliographic services (Web of Science, Scopus, SICRIS, CiteSeer, Zentralblatt MATH, Google Scholar, DBLP Bibliography, US patent office, IMDb, and others). Besides names of authors and titles of their works, more detailed information about them can be obtained: institution, country, time of the first work, time of the last work – for authors; publisher, journal, editor/s, number, volume, pages, key words, time of submission, language, classification/s – for works. With different procedures of networks transformation we can get many different kinds of mostly two-mode networks and study relations between different entities included in data bases (works, authors, journals, key words, institutions, countries, etc.).
