Abstract

[Purpose/significance] This paper used the published authors of Wuhan University and Nanjing University in the field of library and information research and their number of submissions as research objects to identify the structural characteristics and differences of the intranet's internal cooperation network. It can provide reference for the cooperation and communication among authors, and promote better development in this field.[Method/process] Firstly, this paper created cooperative network between the first author and the other author, and count up the cooperation between Wuhan University and Nanjing University. Then, it visualized the cooperative network relationship though Pajek (a social network analysis software), while did the triad census analysis of characteristics. [Result/conclusion] The analysis shows that Wuhan University prefer to publish papers through two personal cooperation. Sub-authors often cooperate with high-yield authors, the network tends to converge, and lack of cooperation among sub-authors; Nanjing University scholars prefer to publish papers independently as the first author, more authors join cooperation network as the first author so that the network expands outward. Meanwhile, there's less cooperation among different first authors.
