Publication Analysis of the Formal Concept Analysis Community

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 7278)

Abstract

We present an analysis of the publication and citation networks of all previous editions of the three conferences most relevant to the FCA community: ICFCA, ICCS and CLA. Using data mining methods from FCA and graph analysis, we investigate patterns and communities among authors, we identify and visualize influential publications and authors, and we give a statistical summary of the conferences’ history.

Keywords

  • bibliometrics
  • citation analysis
  • community
  • data mining
  • influence
