Analysis of academic ties: A case study of Mathematics Genealogy

Analyzing social networks of communities helps us obtain local and large-scale information about the social relations. We can observe how structural as well as behavioral changes occur among the members of a social network over years. In this paper, we analyze academic ties of mathematicians using the Mathematics Genealogy Project data. Additionally, using university and nation information of mathematicians, we examine which universities or nations are more correlated as well as how these correlations change over the years.
