Abstract

In this study, we analyze correlations between the co-authorship network parameters and citation characteristics in Google Scholar. We estimate the count data regression model in a sample of more than 30 thousand authors with the first citation after 2007. There is a positive relationship between scholar’s citation counts and number of co-authors, between citations and the author’s centrality, and between scholar’s citations and the average citation of co-authors. The h-index and i10 index are significantly associated with the number of co-authors and average citation of co-authors.
