Description
Summary:Despite the growing interest in exploring the collaboration patterns and the structure of collaboration networks, the impact of collaboration associated with time-varying scholarly networks is hardly known. This paper investigates collaboration and productivity in a science career and quantifies the impact of collaboration in the collaboration-citation network. Moreover, this paper also investigates collaboration patterns and examines the typical duration of research collaborations. A SCIRank model is proposed to quantify the impact of scientific collaboration, which not only reveals the impact of co-author pairs but also identifies scholarly papers with the outstanding impact that leads to Nobel Prize awards.
