Abstract Text The digital age has shaped scientific collaborations, enhancing opportunity and ease of virtual and international collaborations despite language differences and location (Stafford, 2010). Although international collaborations may create better scientific contributions compared with single-authored papers and national-level collaborations (Sugimoto, 2013), these effects may differ based on scholar gender (e.g., see Aguinis, Ji, & Joo, in press; Sugimoto, 2013). To exemplify the recurring theme of IPLS (i.e., leadership) as well as the focus of this particular conference (i.e., politics and power), we identify coauthor networks in a key journal in our field, with a particular focus on scholar gender. We apply networks analysis to identify the “elites” who have the power to drive leadership conversations and connections between scholars. Furthermore, we consider the notion of a “powerful network” in that there may be some scholars who are indirectly influential through their collaborators. In doing so, we consider power in its multiple forms to provide insight into modern scholarly collaboration and (leadership) science creation.
