| contents | Sociological research has framed collective action in science, innovation, and culture as tripartite networks connecting teams of actors, lists of prior works, and sets of labels (e.g., keywords, topics). While methods for multipartite social networks were proposed decades ago, and have received a recent surge in interest, none of the suggested solutions scale to the size and granularity of contemporary data sets (scientific publications, patents, filmmaking) and at the same time allow for testing multiple competing hypotheses about the drivers of collective production. In this paper, we address this gap by applying Relational Hyperevent Models (RHEM) to dynamic tripartite hypergraphs. Using scientific networks as a case study, we model events linking any number of actors, references, and keywords, testing and controlling for inter-dependencies within and between each set. |
