Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the interplay between collaboration (coauthorship) citation, bibliographic coupling (citation of a third scholar by two other authors), and co-ethnicity among International Communication Association (ICA) Fellows, distinguished scholars in the field of communication. Analysis of data from over 18,000 publications reveals significant relationships between collaboration, citation, and bibliographic coupling among ICA Fellows, with weaker associations observed with co-ethnicity based on name recognition. These findings suggest a level of intellectual cohesion within the communication science community, particularly among elite scholars.
