There can be observed the quantitative effects of the increasing strength of cooperation between scholars. It is manifested in time-related features changes of the numbers distribution of a single co-authors’ article. The distribution of the number of co-authors of an article recorded in the database evolves with time from a profile with no more than one author to a profile with several authors. A social dilemma model is proposed to explain the dynamics of changes in the distribution of the number of co-authors. The most successful strategy of the three considered alternative strategies of cooperation is selected.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.15.116.4153}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/the-dynamics-of-the-distribution-of-co-authors} }
