Journal articles from three tropical diseases for a five-year period are analyzed for cluster formation based on the co-author relationship. The observed partitions are compared with expected partitions produced by a random process and then evaluated for statistical significance according to the Random Graph Hypothesis. The observed partitions from one data set are also evaluated for their logical relationship to identifiable subdivisions within the subject field. |
