Abstract

The contributions of scientific researchers include personal influence and talent training achievements. In this paper, using 9964 high-quality co-author scientific papers in English teaching research from China citation database from 1997 to 2016, a weighted coauthor network with variety factors is constructed. A model was proposed to calculate the author’s contribution to the research team by combining personal and network characteristics. The results reveal a variety of characteristics of the co-author networks in English teaching research field, including statistical properties, community features, and authors’ contribution to teams in this discipline.
