The link-prediction problem for social networks
- J. American Society for Information Science and Technology
"... Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a ne ..."

Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a network. Experiments on large co-authorship networks suggest that information about future interactions can be extracted from network topology alone, and that fairly subtle measures for detecting node proximity can outperform more direct measures. 1
Coauthorship Networks and Patterns of Scientific Collaboration
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
, 2004
"... Using data from three bibliographic databases in biology, physics, and mathematics respectively, networks are constructed in which the nodes are scientists and two scientists are connected if they have coauthored a paper together. We use these networks to answer a broad variety of questions abou ..."

Using data from three bibliographic databases in biology, physics, and mathematics respectively, networks are constructed in which the nodes are scientists and two scientists are connected if they have coauthored a paper together. We use these networks to answer a broad variety of questions about collaboration patterns, such as the numbers of papers authors write, how many people they write them with, what the typical distance between scientists is through the network, and how patterns of collaboration vary between subjects and over time. We also summarize a number of recent results by other authors on coauthorship patterns.
