ABSTRACT: The
researcher network that appeared in research projects funded by the Japanese
government was analyzed. Several static and dynamic network analysis methods
were applied to the data for 20 years to explore the fine structure of the
researcher’s network for grants. Our analysis shows that the long-term trend of
researchers’ group sizes has become smaller, particularly rapidly decreasing in
recent years. Some findings on researcher behavior in joining a project have
also been reported.
