Title
A Picture of the Growing ICER Community.
Abstract
This bibliometric study examines the authorship of the papers presented at ICER since the conference began in 2005. It finds that the pattern of authorship complies well with Lotka's law, an accepted model of author distribution within a discipline. ICER's most prolific authors are identified and their contributions quantified, along with measures of the collaborations between authors. New authors are found to be joining the community at a steady rate, some beginning as co-authors with established community members and some joining alone or with other new authors. The analysis extends to the contributions from different countries. The conclusion is that the community of ICER authors is truly international, has a solid core around which excellent growth is evident, displays strong collaboration, and has at least one of the characteristics of a full-fledged discipline.
