Collaboration Progress

Step 1: Determine DOIs for as many publications as possible.

Initial Data Pull from F180: Filtered Data (only 2025 and Published Articles)

Completed/Published
11,244

Publications for which DOI is availabler from F180:

Completed/Published
8,460

Check CrossRef for DOIs:

Completed/Published
10,418

Check PubMed for DOIs:

Completed/Published
10,418

Check S2 for DOIs:

Step 2: For Publications with available DOIs, generate authors.

Total Number of Authors:
Resolved
73,038
Unresolved
6,945

Step 2a: Verify the DOIs (Is it necessary?)

Verify DOIs with CrossRef.

Step 3: Add the instution for resolved authors

Distribution of Authors by TAMU/not-TAMU:
FALSE
50,506
TRUE
22,532
NA
6,945

Step 4: Add the department for TAMU authors

Parse affiliation to determine Department and College

There are still a large number of authors who are not yet assigned to colleges and departments. I’m working on this to whittle it down.

Step 5: Add single/multiple author types per publication

Step 6: Create TAMU collaborations (College-Level and Department-Level)

Output 1: Collaborative/Single Author Publications by College

Sole authored papers by TAMU scholars are rare. The most appear in the College of Arts & Sciences, and several Colleges have no sole authored papers at all. TAMU scholars are therefore used to collaborating in publication with other scholars both at TAMU and externally. Encouraging them to collaborate with their peers should not be a difficult task. They are by-and-large already doing it.

Output 2: Collaborative/Single Author Publications (TAMU Only) by College

When non-TAMU authors are not considered, the number of sole-TAMU authors increases across all colleges. However, collaborative (e.g. multiple TAMU authors on a single paper) still outnumber the cases where only a single TAMU author is involved in a publication. This pattern appears across all colleges. This further indicates that TAMU facaulty and students are working together (and not exclusively with external colleagues).

Output 3: Collaborative Publications Among Colleges

Colleges tend to collaborate primarily within themselves. The circles showing single college collaborations (e.g. EN:EN) are nearly always the largest. Larger colleges tend to have more with colleges outside of their own. VM, AT, EN, PH, MD and AG are notable. This isn’t surprising since colleges group similar departments together. Cross college collaborations are more easily seen when the large circles of intra-college collaborations are removed.

Output 3: Collaborative Publications Between Colleges

Though considerably fewer than intra-collegiate collaborations, inter-collegiate collaborations are happening all ocross the Univerity. Larger colleges have more collaborations with more colleges, though some colleges are particularly noteworthy for collaborating across a large variety of other colleges and schools. The School of Public Health, for example has collaborations with Arts & Science, Architecture, Engineeiring, and Nursing.
