“…This is in contrast to the Portuguese case examined by Cancela et al. (), where international relations and comparative politics are the most productive and interactive subfields. In Switzerland, public policy and administration additionally display a tendency for cross‐institutional participation with researchers from Swiss occidental universities (Geneva and Lausanne) and Zurich and Bern.…”

“…As co‐authorship activities are cumulated in each year, the network gets denser over time (as in Cancela et al. ; Metz and Jäckle ; Newman ). Figure also nicely confirms the sub‐disciplinary pattern: researchers have a strong tendency to publish with political scientists from the same, rather than different, sub‐discipline.…”

“…However, ignoring co‐authorship with researchers who are not affiliated with a Swiss institute as a political scientist would draw an incomplete picture of the national discipline (Cancela et al. ). This is why we include, in a second step, co‐authorship ties that relate a Swiss political scientist to colleagues from other disciplines or international peers.…”

“…Like other disciplines, political science is concerned with its own evolution (for an overview of German‐speaking countries, see Armingeon ; for Switzerland, see Bernauer and Gilardi , Linder ; for Germany, see Arendes ; for a European overview focusing on Portugal, see Cancela et al. ). One strategy to solidify collaboration and to enhance visibility is through national and international networking, not least through co‐authorship activities.…”

Co-authorship is an important indicator of scientific collaboration. Co-authorship networks are composed of sub-communities, and researchers can gain visibility by connecting these insulated subgroups. This article presents a comprehensive co-authorship network analysis of Swiss political science. Three levels are addressed: disciplinary cohesion and structure at large, communities, and the integrative capacity of individual researchers. The results suggest that collaboration exists across geographical and language borders even though different regions focus on complementary publication strategies. The subfield of public policy and administration has the highest integrative capacity. Co-authorship is a function of several factors, most importantly being in the same subfield.At the individual level, the analysis identifies researchers who belong to the "inner circle" of Swiss political science and who link different communities. In contrast to previous research, the analysis is based on the full set of publications of all political researchers employed in Switzerland in 2013, including past publications.

“…Chandra et al [35] investigate US-American co-authorship structures based on the Social Science Citation Index whereas Cancela et al [36] examine publication activities in Portuguese political research. Leifeld and Ingold [37] identify subfields and analyze the structure of political science collaboration in Switzerland.…”

Research on social processes in the production of scientific output suggests that the collective research agenda of a discipline is influenced by its structural features, such as “invisible colleges” or “groups of collaborators” as well as academic “stars” that are embedded in, or connect, these research groups. Based on an encompassing dataset that takes into account multiple publication types including journals and chapters in edited volumes, we analyze the complete co-authorship network of all 1,339 researchers in German political science. Through the use of consensus graph clustering techniques and descriptive centrality measures, we identify the ten largest research clusters, their research topics, and the most central researchers who act as bridges and connect these clusters. We also aggregate the findings at the level of research organizations and consider the inter-university co-authorship network. The findings indicate that German political science is structured by multiple overlapping research clusters with a dominance of the subfields of international relations, comparative politics and political sociology. A small set of well-connected universities takes leading roles in these informal research groups.
