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, knowledge management and digital humanities. 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 in the study of scholarly collaboration and citation analysis, as a way of tracing the intellectual influences manifested in collaboration and citation behaviors among scholars. Author collaboration network typology has been used to represent the cohesion of a scholar community, co-word network has been used to reveal the intellectual structure and sub-specialties of a domain. In knowledge management, SNA has also been used to assess the typology of social network in an organization, which has been used to measured the social capital of the individuals as well as the organization as whole. With 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.

This class is designed for advanced undergraduates or graduate students who wish to acquire a basic understanding of SNA, gain first-hand experience with SNA techniques, and explore the possibility of utilizing SNA for their research. 

課程目標
The class seeks to:
1. provide a survey of the network perspective on a wide range of models and phenomena such as "the small world", "strong/weak ties", and network dynamics such as homophily, reciprocity, and preferential attachment.
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.

Each group will propose and turn in an empirical research using social network analysis for the final project. The analyse will be driven by research questions or hypotheses (1 to 3) developed by 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
