Zhenzhen publishes an article entitled “Homophily versus preferential attachment: Evolutionary mechanisms of scientific collaboration networks” in International Journal of Modern Physics C (IJMPC). By analyzing the scientific collaboration network in the field of communication, she reports in the article that both homophily and preferential attachment influence the evolution of collaboration networks. Furthermore, the influences vary over time with random action, constrained acceptance, and active choice taking turns to act as the dominant force at the beginning, middle and later phases of the evolution process.
