We consider two scientists to be connected if they have authored a paper together, and construct explicit networks of such connections using data drawn from a number of databases, including MEDLINE (biomedical research), the Los Alamos e-Print Archive (physics), and NCSTRL (computer science). We show that these collaboration networks form &#8220;small worlds&#8221; in which randomly chosen pairs of scientists are typically separated by only a short path of intermediate acquaintances. We further give results for mean and distribution of numbers of collaborators of authors, demonstrate the presence of clustering in the networks, and highlight a number of apparent differences in the patterns of collaboration between the fields studied. &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/nielsen\/\">here<\/a> for all of my del.icio.us bookmarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Newman:The structure of scientific collaboration networks &#8220;We investigate the structure of scientific collaboration networks.
