Abstract

Nowadays, a lot of scientists’ works aim to improve the quality of people’s life but it could be quite complicated without building a successful collaboration. Productive partnerships can increase research efficiency in many cases and make a huge impact on society. However, today there is no clear way to find such collaborators. In this paper, we propose a recommender system for the scientists from the Higher School of Economics university to help them find co-authors for their prospective studies.

7 Appendix

7 Appendix

In this section, the distribution of parameters from the models are given.

figure a
figure b

It is interesting that here exist a hump in the region of the number 800.

figure c
figure d
figure e

As it was expected, the highest hills are seen in the regions of the integer values of the variable. Moreover, there is a plenty of observations having exactly a score of 5 , which means that the journals where there were published are not good enough nowadays.

figure f

An interesting plot could be seen below. Of course, it could be expected that there is a large number of authors that have their journals only in low-citing journals. However, there are two bars not at the ends of the graph, which is quite interesting.

figure g

It can be seen from the graph that this distribution correlates with the year distribution shown in the section of the dataset description.

figure h

This graph shows that there is only a small amount of authors that have only papers with no topic association, which is very good. Moreover, as most of the previous graphs it looks as a power-law graph.
