In many natural science domains, while collaboration is inevitably becoming a vital factor for success, cultivating new promising researchers is becoming a by-product of this process. Young researchers or doctorate candidates can grow up quickly by the tutor's instructions, advanced experimental environment and fierce competition among themselves. In an existing study, we explored the premise that collaboration with an expert in the field can lead to success in the field of computer science. Other fields in natural science may yield results similar to computer science domain, however, domains such as philosophy, where successful scholars, rather than working on scientific articles, prefer spending more time in book writing and delivering lectures and seminars, may produce different results. This study attempts to find the effect of collaboration of top-class researchers on the career of junior researchers of philosophy from a dataset extracted from Ebrary and Scopus ranging from 2000 to 2016. The results of the study depict a relationship between the co-authorship with a top researcher of the field and the success in terms of impact. Results demonstrate that authors who collaborated with highly influential authority authors at an early stage of their career happened to be less productive at initial stages and more productive in later stages as compared to authors who worked with authority authors in later stages. The later ones gained more visibility in terms of citations, with high sociability at later stages and more longevity. However, there is a big number of philosophers who worked independently and still found to be highly productive and successful.

在许多自然科学领域中，尽管协作不可避免地成为成功的重要因素，但培养新的有前途的研究人员正在成为此过程的副产品。年轻的研究人员或博士学位候选人可以通过导师的指示，先进的实验环境以及彼此之间的激烈竞争而迅速成长。在现有的研究中，我们探索了与该领域的专家合作可以导致计算机科学领域成功的前提。自然科学的其他领域可能会产生与计算机科学领域类似的结果，但是，哲学等领域的成功学者可能会花费不同的时间，而不是研究科学文章，他们更愿意花更多的时间在书籍写作，演讲和研讨会上，这可能会产生不同的结果。本研究试图从2000到2016年间从Ebrary和Scopus提取的数据集中发现顶级研究人员的合作对初级哲学研究人员的职业的影响。该领域的顶尖研究人员以及在影响方面取得的成功。结果表明，与在后期阶段与权威作者一起工作的作者相比，在职业生涯的早期与极有影响力的权威作者合作的作者碰巧在初期阶段的生产力较低，而在后期阶段的生产力较高。较晚的那些在引用方面获得了更多的可见性，在后期具有较高的社交性和更长的寿命。然而，
