Figure 10From: Data-driven modeling of collaboration networks: a cross-domain analysis Temporal path length analysis for the co-authorship network in applied and interdisciplinary physics (PACS number 89). (a) Distribution of link types for empirical and simulated networks: ‘newcomer(s)’ means that at least one of the agents was isolated (i.e. not yet part of the network) before the link formation; ‘disconnected’ refers to agents already belonging to the network, but placed in two disconnected components; ‘connected’ refers to agents already belonging to the same network component prior to the link formation. (b) Distribution of path lengths at the moment of link formation (only for agents belonging to the same connected component).Back to article page
