Abstract: Abstract Given extensive research collaboration in modern science, both at thenational and international level, one might wonder whether the network ofresearchers within each discipline is now sufficiently meshed that a largeproportion of contributors to peer-reviewed journals in a given field couldeither share joint publications or, more realistically, be connected throughchains of co-authorships. Such is not the case yet in the fields of probabilityand statistics, however, as shown here using a large data base covering 9reknown journals from each of these two areas over the period 1986-1995.
