Examining drug and side effect relation using author–entity pair bipartite networks

作者:

Highlights:

• The paper explores the characteristics of biological entities, such as drugs, and their side effects using an author–entity pair bipartite network.

• We propose a new ranking algorithm that takes into consideration the characteristics of bipartite networks to identify top-ranked entity pairs.

• We compared the drug and side effect pairs obtained from the network containing both drug and side effect with those observed in SIDER.

• Our approach was able to identify a wide range of patterns of drug–side effect relations from the perspective of authors’ research interests.
