Community structure within scientific collaboration network at Uppsala university

Abstract: In this paper the community discovery algorithms created by Girvan-Newman and Rosvall-Bergstrom are used to find communities within a scientific collaboration network created from researchers from Uppsala university. The results are then compared with official department structures and previous research of collaboration at KTH. The results show that research across department boundaries are more common at Uppsala than at KTH. Differences in department structure is discussed as a potential cause.
