Abstract

Over the past decade there have been many investigations aimed at defining the role of scientists in their coauthorship networks. In this work we propose an analytical definition of a collaboration potential between authors of scientific papers based on both coauthorships and content sharing. The collaboration potential can also be considered a tool to investigate the weakness of the network in terms of 'lost collaborations' between authors with same scientific interests. This work is an abbreviated version of the original article from the same authors [1].
