This page last changed on Jan 12, 2011 by dapolley.
DescriptionExtracts a coauthorship network from a multivalued table. Pros & ConsReturns a network of authors extracted from a pipe '|' separated table with a column labeled "Authors." The algorithm also collects the following information while processing the table:
ApplicationsA coauthorship network is a set of nodes and edges where a node represents an author and an edge indicates that they have worked together on a paper. This algorithm allows a user to generate a coauthorship network in an automated fashion. These networks allow a user to then visualize the structure of the network, which, in turn, can lead to insights about how communities interact. Implementation DetailsThis algorithm is designed to work on .isi files converted through our .isi converter. It will operate on any table that has a column with the header "Authors," but the results will not necessarily be accurate. Please see the Load Data section to see what file formats are support the "Authors" convention. Usage HintsUse the Load ISI File with 'ISI Scholarly format' algorithm. Authors with the same name in the "Authors" column will cause erroneous data. LinksSee Also |
