Abstract

This paper analyzes the level of scientific collaboration and interaction in different subject fields using a novel social network analysis (SNA) on a data set provided by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technologic Information (OSTI) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This paper not only determines the level of scientific collaboration between different disciplines, but it also analyzes the trends among the subject fields considered. The results in this paper show clear pattern recognition discovery on the social network model among key subject fields using weighted networks. © 2013 - IOS Press and the authors.
