Report summary

Pennsylvania State University College of Nursing in 2018-2020 reads as a 13-PI network with 4 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (33% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels), and Palliative Care and End-of-Life Issues as the leading topic (10% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 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 Marie Boltz (14.9 weighted works; Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention, Physical Activity and Health); Nikki L. Hill (13.7 weighted works; Identity, Memory, and Therapy). The strongest pairings are Marie Boltz and Ann Kolanowski (12 shared works, weight 2.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 3.2, around Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, Developmental and Educational Psychology, Psychiatry and Mental health, led by Marie Boltz, Nikki L. Hill, Ann Kolanowski.
