DBLP Collaboration Network

A DBLP (co-authorship network) dataset of 317,080 nodes and 1,049,866 edges, collected by Yang & Leskovec from DBLP bibliography (2012). Each record contains author-author co-authorship edges and publication-venue communities. The dataset is notable for its academic collaboration network with ground-truth communities from publication venues. Intended for research into community detection, network evolution, and scientific collaboration analysis.
