Association Analytics for Network Connectivity in a Bibliographic and Expertise Dataset

Background

Bibliography datasets have been used to measure how authors are connected, publication output, citations, etc. The motivation of such analysis typically is gaining insight of how a community evolves and the characteristics of the social or collaborative interactions among authors. Many techniques for analysis of bibliography data have their roots or are related to social networks analysis, which focuses on the analysis of patterns of relationships among people, organizations, states and such social entities.
