Academic collaboration networks study on library and information science community

The study builds academic collaboration networks at multiple levels from long-term LIS publication data and compares their topology, connection tendencies, and community structure.

The results show a clear shift from individual work to team collaboration. The networks display small-world properties while also reflecting national borders, geographic proximity, and productivity differences.

I contributed to manuscript preparation and designed and applied a network-analysis framework grounded in complex systems theory.

The work connects productivity distributions, collaboration preferences, and community structure within a unified multi-level network perspective.
