As most great discoveries and advancements in science and technology invariably involve the cooperation of a group of researchers, effective collaboration is the key factor. Nevertheless, finding suitable scholars and researchers to work with is challenging and, mostly, time-consuming for many. A recommender who is capable of finding and recommending collaborators would prove helpful. In this work, we utilized a life science and biomedical research database, i.e., MEDLINE, to develop a collaboration recommendation system based on novel graph neural networks, i.e., GraphSAGE and Temporal Graph Network, which can capture intrinsic, complex, and changing dependencies among researchers, including temporal user–user interactions. The baseline methods based on LightGCN and gradient boosting trees were also developed in this work for comparison. Internal automatic evaluations and external evaluations through end-users' ratings were conducted, and the results revealed that our graph neural networks recommender exhibits consistently encouraging results.
