20.500.12556/DKUM-66269 Community structure and the evolution of interdisciplinarity in Slovenia's scientific collaboration network Interaction among the scientific disciplines is of vital importance in modern science. Focusing on the case of Slovenia, we study the dynamics of interdisciplinary sciences from 1960 to 2010. Our approach relies on quantifying the interdisciplinarity of research communities detected in the coauthorship network of Slovenian scientists over time. Examining the evolution of the community structure, we find that the frequency of interdisciplinary research is only proportional with the overall growth of the network. Although marginal improvements in favor of interdisciplinarity are inferable during the 70s and 80s, the overall trends during the past 20 years are constant and indicative of stalemate. We conclude that the flow of knowledge between different fields of research in Slovenia is in need of further stimulation. community structure interdisciplinarity scientific collaboration research funding Slovenia mrežne skupnosti interdisciplinarnost znanstveno sodelovanje financiranje raziskovanega dela Slovenija true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2017-06-19 08:37:03 2017-06-19 08:37:56 2024-05-28 12:17:32 2019-07-11 11:24:52 2014 0 0 str. 1-5 št. 4 Letn. 9 2014 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1932-6203 001.891(497.4) 2005896 20503816 10.1371/journal.pone.0094429 1932-6203 URN:SI:UM:DK:7OKQGL72 PLoS_ONE_2014_Luzar_et_al._Community_Structure_and_the_Evolution_of_Interdisciplinarity_in_Slovenia_s_Scientific_Collaboration_Network.PDF PLoS_ONE_2014_Luzar_et_al._Community_Structure_and_the_Evolution_of_Interdisciplinarity_in_Slovenia_s_Scientific_Collaboration_Network.PDF 1 3DD23166A3C6158827B76173B83EC132 536dce714f24853023deb2d27a4054c88781644d59e903ab13da9978737a9642 41f4e03a-7c0e-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=112712 http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0094429 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=112711 Fakulteta za naravoslovje in matematiko 0 0 0
