Comparative Analysis of Laureate and Non-Laureate Networks with and without Coauthors.

Network measures for “primary authors and all coauthors” are represented visually in Fig 1; Measures for “primary authors only” represented in Fig 2. The degree distributions are non-normal and highly right skewed. Therefore, the non-parametric independent samples Mann-Whitney test was used to test for statistical significance. Results for “primary authors and all coauthors” are U = 284308736, Z = -1.710, Sig = 0.087. Results for “primary authors only” are U = 1712.5, Z = -2.747, Sig = 0.006. Numbers for “primary authors only” were calculated after filtering for nodes and edges between primary authors separately for each group.
