This study explores the research topics and collaborative behavior of authors in the field of the Prisoner's Dilemma using topic modeling and graph theoretic analysis. Five main research topics were identified, including human subject research, biological studies, strategies, network evolution dynamics, and modeling as a Prisoner's Dilemma game. The results showed that the Prisoner's Dilemma field is of continued interest and is more collaborative compared to other game theoretic fields.
This manuscript explores the research topics and collaborative behaviour of authors in the field of the Prisoner's Dilemma using topic modeling and a graph theoretic analysis of the co-authorship network. The analysis identified five research topics in the Prisoner's Dilemma which have been relevant over the course of time. These are human subject research, biological studies, strategies, evolutionary dynamics on networks and modeling problems as a Prisoner's Dilemma game. Moreover, the results demonstrated the Prisoner's Dilemma is a field of continued interest, and that it is a collaborative field compared to other game theoretic fields. The co-authorship network suggests that authors are focused on their communities and that not many connections across the communities are made. The most central authors of the network are the authors connected to the main cluster. Through examining the networks of topics, it was uncovered that the main cluster is characterised by the collaboration of authors in a single topic. These findings add to the bibliometrics study in another field and present new questions and avenues of research to understand the reasons for the measured behaviours.
