Title
Can Academic Conferences Promote Research Collaboration?
Abstract
This work proposes to investigate the question of whether attending conference will breed new scientific collaboration based on the focal closure theory. Through the analysis of conference closure on individual and community level, we show that attending conference can promote new scientific collaborations, and conferences with more attendees and higher field ratings bring more new scientific collaborations.
