The importance of weak social ties in professional commu- nities is well studied and widely accepted. In our paper we analyze the structure of strong ties based on the co-authorship relation and use the formal concept analysis framework to figure out weak ties. The research is motivated by fast growing need in cross-disciplinary research, which re- quires experts from different areas to understand the bigger picture and identify potential fellows for collaborative research projects in nearest future.
