Abstract

Endogamy in scientific publications is a measure of the degree of collaboration between researchers. In this paper, we analyze the endogamy of a large set of computer science conferences and journals. We observe a strong correlation between the quality of those conferences and the endogamy of their authors: conferences where researchers collaborate with new peers have significantly more quality than conferences where researchers work in groups that are stable along time.
