Structure, change over time, and outcomes of research collaboration networks

קישור למצגת

Abstract:

In this talk I will present findings relating to the interplay between the structure of a collaborative research network and the research outcomes produced by its members. These findings are based on my study of GRAND (an acronym for Graphics, Animation and New Media), a Canadian network with over 200 researchers funded by the Canadian government. I use the social network analysis (SNA) framework in order to aid in understanding the structure of the GRAND collaborative research network as well as how it changes over time. I look at the changes of the network’s structural characteristics over time and how they interplay with the researchers’ outcomes. Thereafter, I explain this interplay by discussing the changes of the structural network’s characteristics as conditions that can affect a researcher’s social capital and that can, in turn, affect the researcher’s

outcomes.
