Do researchers collaborate in a similar way to publish and to develop projects?

作者:

Highlights:

• The ways researchers inside an institution collaborate publish a paper together and when they collaborate in a research project are analyzed and compared.

• The individual productivity of a researcher follows the same laws for the network of research papers and the network of projects.

• There is a remarkable change in the power laws of productivity when the quality of the papers or projects is considered.

• There are important structural differences between the two networks.

• Different areas of knowledge exhibit differences in these behaviors that can be quantified by the properties of the networks.
