An analysis on research collaboration between Mathematicians in Universiti Putra Malaysia

Social network analysis is commonly used to investigate relationships between a group of objects by modelling them using graphs. Some of its applications include network modelling and sampling, link prediction and social media analytics. In this study, we analyse research collaboration in between 44...
