Early-stage reciprocity in sustainable scientific collaboration

作者：

Highlights：

• A new way of quantitatively measuring scientific collaboration output, h-index reciprocity, is proposed.

• Top scientists tend to have a fairer h-index reciprocity collaboration output.

• Sustainable collaborations have a fairer h-index reciprocity than transient collaborations.

• It is found that fairness brings about sustainable collaborations.
