Abstract

The contribution of this paper is to look at the diversity of areas of computer science fields in paper collaborations. To study collaborations, we have collected publication information from the Association for Computing and Machinery (ACM) Digital Library and modelled the collaborations as a social network. We have studied the community structure of these collaborations and discovered that multidisciplinary characteristics of communities only weakly correlate to a higher number of citations per paper or publications per authors in those communities.

Abstract
Science has become more collaborative over the past years, as evidenced by the growing number of authors per publication and the emergence of interdisciplinary research endeavors involving specialists from different fields. In this context, it is ...
Community structure and patterns of scientific collaboration in Business and Management

This paper investigates the role of homophily and focus constraint in shaping collaborative scientific research. First, homophily structures collaboration when scientists adhere to a norm of exclusivity in selecting similar partners at a higher rate ...
