Co-authorship network analysis of Iranian researchers on osteoporosis

First Systematic Review on Health Communication Using the CiteSpace Software in China: Exploring Its Research Hotspots and Frontiers

“…Scientific cooperation is a process in which two or more authors share their resources and talents and create studies together [ 37 ]. A sound collaborative relationship among scholars can establish academic networks in order to share innovative ideas, concepts, and theories, generate new knowledge, and ultimately reduce the waste of academic resources and improve the productivity of research [ 50 ]. However, in the HC field, the cooperation between highly productive scholars is relatively weak.…”

“…This establishes authors and institutions as nodes in the analysis of bibliometric records, in order to obtain the corresponding cooperation network map. According to the analysis of the collaborative relationship maps, we can identify the collaborative relationships among the authors and institutions and identify influential/productive/core authors and institutions in a specific domain [ 41 , 50 ]. Co-authorship network analysis has been used to assess collaborative relationships and identify influential scholars and institutions [ 50 ].…”

Co-authorship network analysis has been used to assess collaborative relationships and identify influential scholars and institutions [ 50 ]. Each collaborative relationship is identified by its density, with density being a measure of the connectivity within a network, defined as the ratio of the number of existing links to the maximum possible number of links in a given network.…”

“…Each collaborative relationship is identified by its density, with density being a measure of the connectivity within a network, defined as the ratio of the number of existing links to the maximum possible number of links in a given network. The value of the density ranges between 1 and 0; if the value of the density is closer to 1 this represents a more cohesive networking relationship and if the value is closer to 0 it indicates a weak cooperative relationship [ 50 ]. Lastly, the influential scholars or institutions are identified via frequency (i.e., the number of papers published), with the authors or institutions with a high frequency identified as influential/leading/core authors or institutions.…”

MXene nanomaterials in biomedicine: A bibliometric perspective

“…Author collaboration network analysis is a method used to assess the interaction between researchers ( Khalagi et al, 2021 ). We performed a collaborative building block map of authors by Bibliometrix and the results showed that Zhang Y, the most prolific author in this area of research, has made greater contribution to the advancement of the discipline through cooperation with several authors ( Figure 3E ).…”
