| Summary: | With the rapid increase of publishable research articles and manuscripts, the pressure to find reviewers often overwhelms the journal editors. This paper incorporates the major entity level metrics found in the heterogeneous publication networks into a pattern mining process in order to recommend academic reviewers and potential research collaborators. In essence, the paper integrates authors' h-index and papers' citation count and proposes a quantification to account for the author diversity into one formula duped impact to measure the real influence of a scientific paper. Thereafter, this paper formulates two kinds of target patterns and mines them harnessing the high-utility itemset mining (HUIM) framework. The first pattern, researcher-general topic patterns (RGP), is a pattern that includes only researchers; whereas, the researcher-specific topic patterns (RSP) is comprised of combinations of researchers and keywords that summarize their niche of expertise. The HUI algorithms of Two Phase, IHUP, UP-Growth, FHM, FHN, HUINIV-Mine, D2HUP, and EFIM were compared on two real-world citation datasets related to Deep Learning and HUIM, in addition to the open source mushroom dataset. The EFIM algorithm showed good performance in terms of run time and memory usage. Consequently, it was then used to mine the patterns within the proposed framework. The discovered patterns of RGP and RSP showed high coverage, proving the efficiency of the proposed framework.
