Figure 2. Co-authorship relationships by country; node size is number of authors affiliated in this country (given that a single paper can have multiple authors affiliated in multiple countries, papers are represented multiple times, depending on number of authors, making the nodes quantified by author X publication); the 3 single authored papers are excluded. Above shows all relationships; below shows all except north-south relationships.
