Condensed Matter Collaboration Network

Overview

Description:

Data describes a collaboration network of scientists posting preprints on the condensed matter archive at www.arxiv.org. This version is based on preprints posted to the archive between January 1, 1995 and March 31, 2005. The network is weighted, with weights assigned as described in M. E. J. Newman, Phys. Rev. E 64, 016132 (2001).

These data can be cited (as an updated version of)

M. E. J. Newman, The structure of scientific collaboration networks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98, 404-409 (2001).

Structured as a tab-separated set of adjacency pairs with weights.

Fields:

Short name Type Description
source String Source scientist (vertex)
target String Target scientist (vertex)
weight Int Integer weight, strength of collaboration
