Dataset   CS_PhD

Description

PhD.net: 1,025 vertices (computer scientists), 1,043 arcs (pointing from the advisor to the PhD candidate), no edges, no loops. The network is acyclic.
PhD_year.clu: a partition of the scientists according to the (known or estimated) year in which they obtained their PhD (1,025 vertices).
PhD.paj: Pajek project file containing the network and the partition.

Background

The network contains the ties between Ph.D. students and their advisors in theoretical computer science; each arc points from an advisor to a student. The partition contains the (estimated) year in which the Ph.D. was obtained.
