Scientific paper

Collaboration networks provide a method for examining the structure of collaborative communities. The model I present in this paper connects an individual's skill set to her position in the collaboration network, and changes in the distribution of skills to the structure of the collaboration network as a whole. I show that individuals with a useful combination of skills will have a disproportionate number of links in the network, resulting in a skewed degree distribution. The degree distribution becomes more skewed as problems become more difficult, leading to a community dominated by a few high-degree superstars.
