Abstract
Despite being a topic of growing interest in social learning theory, vicarious learning has not been well-studied so far in digital library related tasks. In this paper, we address a novel ranking problem in research collaboration networks, which focuses on the role of vicarious learner. We introduce a topology-driven vicarious learning definition and propose the first centrality method for ranking vicarious learners. Results obtained on DBLP networks support the significance and uniqueness of the proposed approach.
