課程概述

This is an instrouctory course to the basic concepts in social network analysis, with an emphasis on its application in bibliometrics and knowledge management. Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in social network analysis (SNA). SNA techniques have been applied in a wide range of domains. There has been a close affinity between SNA and bibliometrics in LIS where SNA has been used applied in the study of scholalry collaboration and citation analysis, as a way of tracing the intellectual influences manifested in collaboratiion and citation behaviors among scholars. In knowledge management, SNA has also been used to assess the structure component of social capital, which explains the patterns of information exchange and team performance within an organization. With the recent popularity of social networking sites, a growing availability of network data also makes it possible to study similarity and relatedness within a network of people, documents, and websites. 

課程目標
This class is designed for advanced undergraduates or graduate students who wish to acquire a basic understanding of SNA and explore the possibility of utilizing SNA for their research. The class seeks to:
1. provide a survey of the network perspective on a wide range of theories and phenomena such as "the small world", "strong/weak ties", and power law, with a specific focus on their implications on social and behavioral sciences.
2. introduce students to empirical studies utilizing SNA methods in areas such as scholarly communication/bibliometrics, social capital, education, and recommendation networks.
3. give students hand-on experiences with collecting and analyzing network data centered on the software packages UCINET, NetDraw, VosViewer, and Gephi. 
課程要求
Assignments and Grading

I. Participation (10%)
II. Group projects
Students will form into groups of two to three to complete the following group project:

1. Class assignments (60%)
All group will complete and turn in four class assignment over the course of the semester. These assignments are designed to give you hand-on experiences with collecting, inputting and analyzing network data.

2. Final project (30%)
Each group will propose and turn in an empirical research using social network analysis for the final project. The analysis will be driven by research questions or hypotheses (1 to 3) developed within each group. You are to perform various visualization and network analytical techniques we have covered in the classes, including cohesion, centrality, community-detection, and hypothesis-testing. The final project includes also a PowerPoint presentation of your results. Your final project will contain the following components:
a. Theoretical framework and research questions (1-2 pages)
b. Research procedures (data collection procedures, measures and analytical techniques) (1-5 pages)
c. Initial results and discussion d. PowerPoint presentation of your project
