Experiments Across institutions and countries Authorship and co-authorship Most cited publications Author-assigned keywords Institutions of information retrieval authors Other related disciplines
Experiments Authorship and co-authorship Most cited publications Author-assigned keywords Institutions of information retrieval authors Other related disciplines
Conclusion n Although some of the highly productive authors had a larger co-authorship network and are at the center of coauthorship clusters, a number of single-author publications were heavily cited. n Top five disciplines that contribute to information retrieval are computer science, library and information science, engineering, telecommunications, and management.
Comment n Advantages n References are very rich. n Applications n Information retrieval
