In the history of authorship attribution, the analysis of The Federalist Papers plays an important role. However, most previous non-traditional (stylistic) authorship studies have been flawed, mainly due to the use of improper editions, as documented by Rudman (2005).

In this paper, we present a case study of predicting topics of scientific papers using a co-authorship graph. Co-authorship graphs constitute a specific view on bibliographic data, where scientific publications are modelled as a graph’s nodes, and two nodes are linked by an undirected edge whenever the two corresponding papers share at least one author. We apply a simple collective classificati...
