Abstract

Many complex systems have been modelled and analyzed as complex networks. These systems are huge and complex in terms of number of interconnecting components. In this research, we have analyzed the co-authorship network of Sindh university authors on science direct to understand the connectivity pattern of authors who published their articles over time. This research has found that the connectivity pattern of the authors is highly heterogonous due to the emergence of hubs in this system. Further, this network has shown highly clustered behavior with small world effect. These findings based on network analysis suggests that the co-authorship system is depending on few authors frequently publishing multiple papers in this network.
