Construction of bipartite and unipartite weighted networks from collections of journal papers
arXiv:physics/0503061
Abstract
This work presents a model that allows the study of research specialties through the manifestations of the specialty's social and epistemological processes in a collection of journal papers. Collections of papers are modeled as coupled bipartite networks interlinking 7 types of entities. Matrix-based link weight functions are introduced to calculate weighted bipartite networks and weighted unipartite co-occurrence networks in the collection of papers. These weight calculation methods, when used in conjunction with unweighted bipartite growth models, produce simple growth models for weighted networks in collections of papers.
