The Pearson correlation analysis among parameters related to authors’ impact on PPP research community.

Correlation analysis	Total link strength	Number of articles	Total citations	Average citation
Total link strength		r = 0.965;	r = 0.835;	r = 0.093;
Number of articles			r = 0.830;	r = 0.034;
Total citations				r = 0.522;

r is the Pearson correlation between the selected pair of authors’ parameters, and a corresponding value lower than 0.05 would indicate a significant relationship between the pair of parameters.
