Popis: Scholarly advance depends on the interaction of researchers in a large number of overlapping communities in different disciplines (mathematics, computer science, etc.) and fields within these disciplines (e.g., algebra, formal methods, etc.). Now that academic publications are largely accessible on the Internet, these connections are directly available through a number of resources and visualization tools that are available online. Academic links are typically in the form of co-authors, citations, supervisor/student, etc., forming different types of relations between pairs of researchers. This paper explores these links with some specific examples, including visualization of these relationships and their formalization using the Z notation.
