This paper presents a method of understanding the growth of global science as resulting from a mechanism of preferential attachment within networks. The paper seeks to contribute to the development of indicators of knowledge creation and transfer by presenting a theory and case study of network structures in science. It is our view that indicator development has suffered from a lack of attention to the theoretical basis for understanding the dynamics of knowledge creation. This lack has been due, in part, to the difficulty of measuring dynamic systems within social organizations. This paper attempts to fill this gap by proposing theory-based indicators of knowledge creation using network theory and analysis. The paper presents a hypothesis about the knowledge system that is explored by analyzing the growth of international collaboration in science.
