Abstract: We explore social networks of scientific collaboration in banking research. Collaboration is measured with co-authorship partnerships between individual scientists, institutions and countries. We employ a sample of published research in banking journals over the last 25 years and discuss the social structure of collaborations in banking papers. We find the most central authors, institutions and countries in banking research. We also discover that the network of banking research has small-world properties; the collaboration between authors, institutions and countries is highly clustered and most nodes in the network are closely connected.
