Project Description
• Explore team collaborations on a global research
effort to understand climate change
• Overlay economic system constraints onto a
citation network
• Compare different fields for varying levels of
collaboration
• Examine of cross-country links

Data Sources
• Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Third
Assessment Report)
• Synthesis process that collects important papers from
around the world
• Three chapters from different fields:
• Insurance impacts (C=212)
• Atmospheric Chem. (C=287)
• Policy Instruments (C=333)

Future Work
• Calculate Basic Network Parameters (clustering coeff., path
length, centrality, etc.)
• Team Economics (Incentives)
• Team Definition (co-authors, citations, funding?)
• Evolution by Date (identify “seed” papers)
• Geographic Distribution
• Suggest Optimal Structure
• Translate Team Structure Concepts to Network Representation
