  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:

Synonyms

Disciplinary; Knowledge flow; Scholarly communication; Scholarly networks; Science maps; Scientific collaboration; Scientific evaluation; Topic identification

Glossary

Node (in Scholarly Networks):

Entities such as words, papers, patent, authors, journals, institutions, fields, or country

Edge (in Scholarly Networks):

Citation, cocitation, co-word, coauthor, bibliographic coupling, or hybrid relations

Scholarly Network:

The combination of edge properties and node properties defines a scholarly network

Macro-level Approach:

Statistics that are used to identify the global structural features of the networks, including component, bicompo-nent, shortest distance, clustering coefficient, degree distribution, and error and attack tolerance

Meso-level Approach:

Approaches that focus on the behavior of a group of actors, including topic identification and community detection

Microlevel Approach:

Indicators that are useful to understand individual node's power, stratification, ranking,...
