Collaborative coefficient: A single measure of the degree of collaboration in research

It is shown that the mean number of authors per paper or the proportion of the multiple-authored papers is inadequate as a measure of the degree of collaboration in a discipline. A measure which combines some of the merits of both measures is suggested and derived. This measure, called the Collaborative Coefficient, is derived for four commonly used probability distributions.
