How does collaboration affect researchers’ positions in co-authorship networks?

作者：

Highlights：

• We want to validate the generalized friendship paradox from researcher's academic level.

• From the angle of sociability of researchers, we study the benefits of collaboration on enhancing researchers’ social circle.

• We evaluate the scope and dynamic changing of researcher's ego-network with some network centrality metrics.

• According to all these analysis, we explore the relation between collaboration and researchers’ influence in computer science. Experimental results show that collaboration can help researchers improve their influence to some extent.
