Social network analysis: a powerful strategy, also for the information sciences
E. Otte, and R. Rousseau. Journal of Information Science, 28 (6):
441--453(2002)
Abstract
Social network analysis (SNA) is not a formal theory in sociology
but rather a strategy for investigating social structures.
As it is an idea that can be applied in many fields, we study,
in particular, its influence in the information sciences.
Information scientists study publication, citation and cocitation
networks, collaboration structures and other forms
of social interaction networks. Moreover, the Internet represents
a social network of an unprecedented scale. In all these
studies social network analysis can successfully be applied.
SNA is further related to recent theories concerning the free
market economy, geography and transport networks. The
growth of SNA is documented and a co-author network of
SNA is drawn. Centrality measures of the SNA network are
calculated.
