The temporal evolution of a scientific group through three periods: (a) 2008–2010; (b) 2008–2014; (c) 2008–2018. Here, each dot represents a researcher that has a connection with vm.4. Purple is coded for male, blue is coded for female; the square shape represents foreign researchers while the round shape is for the Vietnamese. The size of the dot is the number of publications an author has within the designated period. The arrow shows the direction from key-author (first-author) to the others author in a paper.
