On the Co-authorship network analysis in the Process Mining research Community: A social network analysis perspective

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider the invisible co-authorship network among Process Mining researchers.

• The features of the networks are compared in the two first decades of the 21st century.

• We examine the scale-free feature and small-world characteristics in this network.

• We used TOPSIS in order to integrate measures to identify the most central authors.

• Network without central authors and without nodes less than 3 degrees is examined.
