Abstract
There are two prospective goals for this research, firstly, bring in society network analytic technique to research the communication mode of the management science’s researcher community. Secondly, describe the citation network’s variation of management science journal. Using social network analyses on the citation network—measures of centrality, multivariate measures, position in the network—an examination of a management science community was discussed by promulgating the two-period citation modes’ variation to describe the management science’s evolution and maturity. Results show that the exchange of knowledge of management science journals in the network density increases and community was more direct and open. The subject tends to cross in the field of fusion. The network has maintained relative stability, but it also has some obvious changes. These journals can be considered to be the "invisible college" that has core members.
