Who is collaborating with whom? Part II. Application of the methods to male and to female networks

作者:

Highlights:

• A theoretical approach of a mathematical model for 3-D computer graphs and corresponding methods for empirical testing are presented.

• Structures of preferences who is collaborating with whom are shown in 3-D versions.

• 3-D visualization and animation of emerging collaboration patterns by the process of self-organization in collaboration networks are presented.

• These new methods are applied on male and female networks.
