Merge three Co-authorship Databases
A list of NJIT faculty names was
used to carry out Google
scholar’s author search, and
63,937 raw search hits were
collected. For the co-authorship
database, only the publications
with at least two NJIT authors
qualify for inclusion.

Fig-1. Overview of co-authorship database development from scopus
A list of NJIT faculty names was used to carry out Scopus
author search. Fortunately, no NJIT faculty members have
common names. We use affiliation information to filter out
those authors who come from other organizations but have
the same name with NJIT faculty members.
Co-authorship database was developed by extracting the
bibliographic data for each faculty member.

Co-authored publication extraction:
If a paper is co-authored by two NJIT faculty members, it should appear
in two different publication lists. For instance, suppose there are two
authors A and B, two publication lists named Pa and Pb are denoted:
Publication list for author A: Pa={p(a)1, p(a)2, p(a)3, ……. p(a)n}, and
Publication list for author B: Pb={p(b)1, p(b2, p(b)3, ……. p(b)m}.
If a publication p is coauthored by A and B, then p ∈ Pa and p ∈ Pb.
2,043 coauthored publication candidates were identified. After removing
the duplicates, only 1,914 pubs were left.
