近几十年来，人们对科学合作的性质和规模越来越感兴趣。对共同作者的研究采取了两种不同的方法。第一个尝试分析作者合作的原因以及这种决定的后果（Laband 和 Tollison，2000）。第二种方法基于共同作者创建研究人员社交网络的想法（Barabasi 等，2002；Moody，2004；Newman，2001）。在本研究中，我们从上述两种方法对管理领域的合着进行了探索性分析。所获得的结果表明，管理学领域的合着论文呈增长趋势，这与其他学科中观察到的情况类似。我们的研究分析了文献中强调的一些基础因素，解释了这一趋势。因此，研究的渐进定量特征以及合作对文章影响力的影响得到增强。网络分析可以探索管理学与其他知识领域相比的特殊性，以及该学科中最核心和最杰出的作者之间的现有联系。
In recent decades there has been growing interest in the nature and scale of scientific collaboration. Studies into co-authorship have taken two different approaches. The first one attempts to analyse the reasons why authors collaborate and the consequences of such decision (Laband and Tollison, 2000). The second approach is based on the idea that co-authorship creates a social network of researchers (Barabasi et al., 2002; Moody, 2004; Newman, 2001). In this study we have carried out an exploratory analysis of co-authorships in the field of management from the two aforementioned approaches. The results obtained show a growing tendency of the co-authored papers in the field of management, similar to what can be observed in other disciplines. Our study analyses some of the underpinning factors, which have been highlighted in the literature, explaining this tendency. Thus, the progressive quantitative character of research and the influence of the collaboration on the articles' impact are enhanced. The network analysis permits the exploration of the peculiarities of the management in comparison with other fields of knowledge, as well as the existing linkages between the most central and prominent authors within this discipline.
