Notwithstanding a significant understanding of epidemic processes in biological, social, financial, and geophysical systems, little is known about contagion behavior in individual productivity and success. We introduce an epidemic model to study the contagion of scholarly productivity and YouTube success. Our analysis reveals the existence of synchronized bursts in individual productivity and success, which are likely mediated by sustained flows of information within the networks.
尽管人们对生物、社会、金融和地球物理系统中的流行过程有了重要的了解,但对于个体生产力和成功中的传染行为却知之甚少。我们引入了一个流行模型来研究学术生产力和 YouTube 成功的传染。我们的分析揭示了个体生产力和成功中存在同步爆发的现象,这很可能是由网络内持续的信息流所介导的。
