Computational Analyses Reveal Fundamental Properties of the Hemophilia Literature in the Last 6 Decades

ABSTRACT: Hemophilia is an inherited blood coagulation disorder caused by mutations on the coagulation factors VIII or IX genes. Although it is a relatively rare disease, the research community is actively working on this topic, producing almost 6000 manuscripts in the last 5 years. Given that the scientific literature is increasing so rapidly, even the most avid reader will find it difficult to follow it closely. In this study, we used sophisticated computational techniques to map the hemophilia literature of the last 60 years. We created a network structure to represent authorship collaborations, where the nodes are the researchers and 2 nodes are connected if they co-authored a manuscript. We accurately identified author clusters, namely, researchers who have collaborated systematically for sever
