Similarity network fusion for scholarly journals

作者:

Highlights:

• Intellectual and social proximity among scholarly journals explored by network fusion techniques.

• Information in multilayer networks of journals are fused in a similarity network.

• Partial distance correlations measure contribution of layers to the fused network.

• The community morphology of the fused network is explored by using modularity.

• Communities of journals are mainly defined by editors as gatekeepers of science.
