“…When students are accepted by the university, they are usually evaluated by several common parameters facilitating supervisors to make the decision. These parameters are GPA, undergraduate university, research interest, passed courses and specific skills [7]. The studies show that supervisors tend to work with the students who share high compatibility with them [7,9].…”

“…Maedeh develops an advisory agents modeling system in University of Tehran to enhance the decision making of student-supervisor selection [9]. Additionally, researchers propose an approach based on genetic algorithm for studentsupervisor assignment [7]. There are some other methods used to facilitating the process of studentsupervisor selection, such as a strategic approach adapted from multiple criteria decision method [4], analytic hierarchy process method [5], and analytic network process method [6].…”

“…In current studies, evidences have shown that the mismatch between students and supervisors has an effect on students' academic achievements [1][2][3]. Various methods are applied to solve this problem, such as multiple criteria decision method [4], analytic hierarchy process method [5], analytic network process method [6], and generic algorithm [7]. However, they share a common limitation of merely focusing on the context of one university.…”

Student-selection is of critical importance for research supervisors in the higher education environment. On account of the information asymmetry, it poses a significant challenge for supervisors to find the most appropriate students. Current studies are limited to the context of one university. They are not suitable in web 2.0 era which are inundated with vast online information. This article proposes an intelligent approach with the help of recommendation system techniques which have emerged in both research social network to provide services for scholars and e-commerce applications to serve for consumers. Furthermore, the method distinguishes a supervisor according to his co-author network firstly. Then, it applies respective recommendation strategy to provide student recommendation services for the target supervisor. A prototype is implemented on Scholarmate, which is a research social network website emphasizing communication between students and supervisors. The evaluation of our proposed method will be completed in the future.

“…Multiple methods have been proposed for supervisor selection (Mosharraf & Taghiyareh, ; Mosharraf, Taghiyareh, Soleimani & Orooji, ), such as multi‐criteria decision making (MCDM) (Datta, Beriha, Patnaik & Mahapatra, ), analytical hierarchy process (AHP) (Ray & Marakas, ) and analytic network process (ANP) (Momeni, Samimi, Afshari, Maleki & Mohammadi, ). In order to make a sensible decision, Datta et al () developed a strategic approach based on the MCDM method.…”

Identifying a suitable supervisor for a new research student is vitally important for his or her academic career. Current information overload and information disorientation have posed significant challenges for new students. Existing research for supervisor identification focuses on quality assessment of candidates, but ignores indirect relevance with candidate supervisors' previous students, social network connections and their thinking styles. This paper presents a comprehensive student-centric approach based on research analytics framework for finding and recommending supervisors for new students. In particular, it integrates multiple measurements from three dimensions, ie, relevance, connectivity and quality. A prototype system was developed to support student-supervisor recommendations on a research social network platform (ie, www.ScholarMate.com). The results of user-based evaluations demonstrate that our proposed approach generates more satisfactory recommendations as compared with that of all baseline methods.
