This paper proposes a framework to analyze the interdisciplinary collaboration in a coauthorship network from a meso perspective using topic modeling: (1) a customized topic model is developed to capture and formalize the interdisciplinary feature; and (2) the two algorithms Diversity Subgraph...

The author order of multi-authored papers can reveal subtle patterns of scientific collaboration and provide insights on the nature of credit assignment among coauthors. This article proposes a sequence-based perspective on scientific collaboration. Using frequently occurring sequences as the...

There are many indicators of journal quality and prestige. Although acceptance rates are discussed anecdotally, there has been little systematic exploration of the relationship between acceptance rates and other journal measures. This study examines the variability of acceptance rates for a set...

In this paper, we study Wasserstein-Divergence transportation inequalities which are the generalization of classical transportation inequalities. We present sufficient and necessary conditions for them separately, which coincide in the limit case. Using this kind of inequalities, we establish...

In this paper, we study the quadratic transportation and divergence inequality, which is the generalization of Talagrand’s transportation inequality. We obtain its tensorization property, prove it is implied by Poincaré inequality, and give a criterion for it.
