physics_collab — Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)

Description

Two multilayer coauthorship networks of scientists, assembled by M. De Domenico, A. Lancichinetti, A. Arenas and M. Rosvall. Nodes are scientists (anonymized) and edges are coauthorships, with layers corresponding to research topics:

  • pierreAuger: coauthorships of internal technical reports of the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which operates an observatory of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, submitted between 2010 and 2012. Each report was assigned to one or more of 16 layers corresponding to working tasks (neutrinos, detector, enhancements, anisotropy, point source, mass composition, horizontal showers, hybrid reconstruction, spectrum, photons, atmospheric, SD reconstruction, hadronic interactions, exotics, magnetic fields, astrophysical scenarios), according to its keywords and content, with manual disambiguation.
  • arXiv: coauthorships of preprints posted on arXiv up to May 2014 with "networks" in the title or abstract, with 13 layers corresponding to the arXiv categories of the preprints (physics.soc-ph, physics.data-an, physics.bio-ph, math-ph, math.OC, cond-mat.dis-nn, cond-mat.stat-mech, q-bio.MN, q-bio, q-bio.BM, nlin.AO, cs.SI, cs.CV).

The edges are weighted as follows: for each report or preprint with $N > 1$ authors, classified into $L$ layers, a weight $1/[L(N-1)]$ is added to the edge between each pair of its coauthors in each of these layers. Hence, the sum of the weights of the edges of an author over all layers is the number of (multi-author) papers they wrote. Each pair of authors has at most one edge per layer.

The networks have the following properties:

  • (Node) name: empty, since the identities of the authors are not provided.
  • (Edge) layer: the layer of the edge, numbered as listed above (see the graph property layer_key).
  • (Edge) weight: the edge weight, as defined above.
