ABSTRACT
Research collaborations especially long-distance collaborations are increasingly prevalent all over the world. Research leadership plays a key role in research collaborations. However, the collaboration relationship is homogeneously assigned to all authors in the same article, ignoring the dominance/leadership of the collaboration. Furthermore, in many cases, when evaluating research actors' performance, spatial features, which are found to be important to academic influence, are ignored. This paper aims to fill the gap by constructing a weighted and directed spatial research leadership network and propose SRLRank based on the network. Systemic analysis of spatial distribution and dynamic pattern of research leadership flows are performed. Thorough evaluations are conducted with comparisons to a set of traditional indices. The results indicate the superb performance of the proposed SRLRank. Finally, comprehensive implications and further applications of the SRLRank are discussed.
