Abstract: | This study proposes a quantitative analysis of researcher mobility (i.e. transfer from one institution to another) and collaborative
networks on the basis of author background data extracted from biographical notes in scientific articles to identify connections
that are not revealed via simple co-authorship analysis. Using a top-ranked journal in the field of computer vision, we create
a layered network that describes various aspects of author backgrounds, demonstrating a geographical distribution of institutions.
We classify networks according to various dimensions including authors, institutions and countries. The results of the quantitative
analysis indicate that mobility networks extend beyond the typical collaborative networks describing institutional and international
relationships. We also discuss sectoral collaboration considering the mobility networks. Our findings indicate a limitation
of collaborative analysis based on bibliometric data and the importance of tracing researcher mobility within potential networks
to identify the true nature of scientific collaboration. |
