A network-based and multi-parameter model for finding influential authors

作者:

Highlights:

• Katz–Bonacich centrality is adopted to define the network prestige.

• Author's influence is measured by the change of network prestige.

• The model's time complexity is low.

• The implications of two parameters are uncovered by simulation analysis.

• A comprehensive application is designed to validate the model's functions.
