Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to study and compare graphs co-authored by Iranian researchers in Persian scientific research journals in the field of entrepreneurship management using vertex and edge coloring of graphs. In this research, the data related to the scientific-research documents of 308 Iranian researchers in 5 Persian scientific research journals in the field of entrepreneurship management from 2019 to 2023 by using the issues printed in these journals and the graphs related to the authors of these journals were extracted using they are drawn from mathematical software and then compared and analyzed using algebraic parameters such as the average degree of vertices, independence, chromatic and matching number. In the main results, it was checked that the average grade of Smart Business Management Studies Journal is 4.3 and higher than other journals. Also, the largest research group (clique number) is 6 people and the most research variety (independence number) is 25 and it is related to entrepreneurship development magazines. Among the discussed journals in the field of entrepreneurship management, according to the average grades, the amount of research cooperation of the Journal of Smart Business Management Studies is at a higher level than the other four journals. Also, according to the independence number, the variety of research fields in the journal of entrepreneurship development is more than other journals discussed in this field in the country.
