CsAuthors.net database

Most of the data is coming from the DBLP Computer Science Bibliography and the rest is coming from CsAuthors.net own database.

We are working hard to keep everything up-to-date. However, we know that there are many papers not yet included in our dataset.

The "Dijkstra number"

The Dijkstra number describes the collaborative distance between an author and Edsger W. Dijkstra.

In our dataset 90.5% of authors are connected to Edsger W. Dijkstra and the average Dijkstra number among them is 5.05.

These kind of number/metrics are quite famous and already well defined in other fields.

The "Erdős number" expresses the collaborative distance with Paul Erdős, the famous Hungarian mathematician.
The "Bacon number" expresses the co-acting distance with Kevin Bacon.
