Abstract：Based on the data comes from 12 journals between 2000-2009 which contains 7 389 different authors,this paper computes the degree, betweenness centrality and K-shell and makes a comparative analysis. The results show that K-shell does better in identification of influential spreaders in co-author network. This method can be also used in co-citation network and coupling network for identification of influential spreaders.
