Report summary

Cornell University Department of Animal Science in 2015-2017 reads as a 13-PI network with 6 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Agricultural and Biological Sciences as the leading field (32% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Agronomy and Crop Science as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock as the leading topic (10% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is of concern for a 13-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are R.C. Bicalho (22 weighted works; Reproductive Physiology in Livestock, Milk Quality and Mastitis in Dairy Cows). The strongest pairings are Ling Tao and Xin Gen Lei (5 shared works, weight 3.6); Quirine M. Ketterings and D. J. R. Cherney (7 shared works, weight 2.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 3.7, around Genetics, Molecular Biology, Soil Science, led by Quirine M. Ketterings, Vimal Selvaraj, D. J. R. Cherney.
