A regression analysis of researchers’ social network metrics on their citation performance in a college of engineering

作者:

Highlights:

• Two issues, (1) co-authorship is seen as the partial or rough indicator of scientific collaboration and (2) researchers’ collaboration network can be regarded as a proxy for their communication network, are addressed.

• A data collection method is used to obtain researchers’ both in-progress and completed collaborative outputs.

• The data is collected to analyze researchers’ communication and multiple collaborative output networks.

• A bivariate Poisson regression models are run to test the impact of social network metrics obtained from researchers’ multiple networks on their citation performance (h-index).
