Abstract :
This paper reports a bibliometric analysis of evolving co-author networks. Using 5,009 articles covering the years 1993 to 2005 from Transactions D. (Information Systems) of the Institute of Electronics Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), we attempt to compare the network characteristics for each year, the co-author network characteristics for the entire time span, and the four major components of the entire data set. Finally, we analyze each of these in contrast to extant co-authorship network data and find that the pattern of co-authorship within Information Systems does not change significantly over this time period.
