作者引用网络中潜在合作者发现新探索

A New Exploratory Study on Discovery of Latent Collaborators Based on Author Citation Network

从作者引用和作者合作的关系人手，分析了从作者引用出发进行潜在合作者发现的理论可行性。根据“互引、被引和引用”三种不同引用类型，构建了测度两个作者潜在合作强度的数学模型。在此基础上，给出了从“个体和小团体”两个视角出发发现一个作者潜在合作者和潜在合作小团体的方法。以邱均平教授潜在合作者和合作小团体为例进行了案例研究。最后，将本文所提方法（即作者直引分析）与其他两种基于作者引用网络的常用的潜在合作者发现方法——作者同被引分析和作者耦合分析进行了比较，结果发现作者直引分析较其他两种方法具有一定的优越性。

Starting from the relationship of author citation and author collaboration, it analyzes the theoretical feasibility of latent collaborators discovering based on the author citation. According to the different types of author citation, namely mutual citation, the cited and the citing, it builds the mathematical measurement model of latent collaboration strength. On the basis of the model, it gives the methods of discovering the latent collaborators and small groups of a given author. Prof. Qiu Junping is taken as an example to do case study. Finally, the method produced by this paper （ namely author direct citation analysis） is compared with other two commonly used methods of latent collaborators discovering based on author citation network, namely author co-citation analysis and author bibliographic coupling analysis, the comparison result shows that author direct citation analysis has more advantage than the other two methods.
