Co-Authorship Graph

A Co-Authorship Graph is a directed social graph of authors and their co-authorship relations.

• AKA: Co-Author Network, Co-Authorship Dataset.
• Context:
  • It can be the input to a Co-authorship Network Analysis Task.
  • It can be derived from a Bibliographic Network.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • a DBLP Co-Authorship Graph.
  • a SIGMOD Co-Authorship Graph.
  • a SIGIR Co-Authorship Graph.
  • a SIGKDD Co-Authorship Graph.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Citation Network.
  • a Co-citation Network.
• See: DBLP, Arnetminer System.
