Research collaboration is a central mechanism that combines distributed knowledge and expertise into common new original ideas. Considering the lists of publications of László Lovász from the Hungarian bibliographic database MTMT, we illustrate and analyze the collaboration network determined by all co-authors of Lovász, considering only their joint works with Lovász.
In the second part, we construct and analyze the co-authorship network determined by the collaborating authors of all scientific documents that have referred to Lovász according to the Web of Science citation service. We study the scientific influence of László Lovász as seen through this collaboration network. Here, we provide some statistical features of these publications, as well as the characteristics of the co-authorship network using standard social network analysis techniques.
