Analysis of Computer Science Communities Based on DBLP

Abstract

It is popular nowadays to bring techniques from bibliomet- rics and scientometrics into the world of digital libraries to analyze the collaboration patterns and explore mechanisms which underlie community development. In this paper we use the DBLP data to investigate the author’s scientific ca- reer and provide an in-depth exploration of some of the com- puter science communities. We compare them in terms of productivity, population stability and collaboration trends. Besides we use these features to compare the sets of top- ranked conferences with their lower ranked counterparts
