Abstract :Co-authorship networks are remarkable applications of complex networks, an interdisciplinary framework of exploring systems composed of smaller components with numerous interconnections. Generating connections insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(links); between collaborating authors, we constructed co-authorship networks of four Turkish universities as İstanbul Technical University, Selçuk University, Sakarya University and Karabük University. Along with the node and edge counts, we investigated the time evolution of network parameters like average degree, modularity, clustering coefficient and average path length in yearly resolution. We also outlined the effect of being a first-mover insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(or late); as a university in terms of the network parameters.
