The co-author network

Each node is a co-author with at least 2 joint papers (106 people); two co-authors are linked when they signed a paper together, and thicker links mean more joint papers. I am left out, since I am connected to everybody. Node size reflects the number of papers we wrote together. Hover a node for details, drag to explore, scroll to zoom.

What the network says

  • Apart from me, the co-authors form 17 groups of two people or more (Louvain algorithm, modularity 0.83), plus 5 co-authors with no other link: the network is made of research collaborations that hardly overlap.
  • The largest groups gather around N. Picard, C. Loucoubar, R. Cheddadi, L. Cucu-Grosjean, P. Zanotti-Fregonara, J.-J. Daudin. The themes shown for each group are the most distinctive words and expressions of the titles of its papers (TF-IDF), computed automatically.
  • Measured in papers rather than people, the most productive collaborations are those with N. Picard (30 papers, 1998–2021), J.-J. Daudin (16 papers, 1995–2008), R. Cheddadi (11 papers, 2004–2024): a large group is not always a productive one.
  • The co-authors who act most as bridges inside the network (highest betweenness) are N. Picard, F. Mortier, S. Robin, J.-J. Daudin, V. Favrichon.
  • 7 publications are single-authored; half of the papers have 4 authors or fewer.
