Co-authorship networks of academic departments, over time.
ProfessorNet builds an interactive map of how the principal investigators of any academic department collaborate, drawn from public OpenAlex bibliographic data. Pick an institution, a department, and a time range to see the people, the connections, and the research directions.
Sized by output
Node size reflects each PI's weighted publication count from first or corresponding-author works in the chosen window.
Linked by collaboration
Edges show co-authored papers between members of the same department, weighted by how many they share.
Research directions
Top topics for each PI are pulled from their first/corresponding-author works, giving a quick read on what they actually study.
