Report summary

Harvard University Department of Neurosurgery in 2018-2020 reads as a 73-PI network with 171 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (52% of slots across 60 PIs; 60 labels), Neurology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Glioma Diagnosis and Treatment as the leading topic (4% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 25 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Ajith J. Thomas (18.8 weighted works; Intracranial Aneurysms: Treatment and Complications, Vascular Malformations Diagnosis and Treatment); Marike L. D. Broekman (17.2 weighted works; Brain Metastases and Treatment, Ethics in medical practice). The strongest pairings are Ajith J. Thomas and Christopher S. Ogilvy (56 shared works, weight 22.7); Ajith J. Thomas and Justin M. Moore (41 shared works, weight 16.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 18 internal connections, weight 81.1, around Neurology, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Epidemiology, led by Ajith J. Thomas, Christopher S. Ogilvy, Justin M. Moore; group 2 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 51.9, around Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Surgery, Epidemiology, led by Marike L. D. Broekman, Timothy R. Smith, J.
