Identifying several problems in measuring the strongest path connecting pairs of actors in valued graphs, researchers proposed that average path value (APV) be used to indicate optimal connections between dyads. However, a lack of proper computer algorithm and programming implementation has hindered a wide-range application of the proposed APV solution. We develop a computer algorithm and fully...

This study examines the social network of scholars in the field of Communication by using author co-citation data. A matrix containing the number of co-cited documents between pairs of authors is created for social network analysis of scholars who are on the editorial board of Journal of Communication, and the networked map of the scholars is used to visualize the knowledge structure of the fie...

Virtual communities are the uppermost communication spaces and channels for online word-of-mouth. And opinion leaders are the most important group for enterprises’ word-of-mouth communication. As enterprises are engaged in online word-of-mouth marketing activities, the key is to find out the opinion leaders in virtual communities. In this paper, after affirming the effects of opinion leaders an...

Birbiri ile bağlantıları çizgilerle görselleştirilen aktörlerin bir araya gelmesi oluşturulan bağlantı haritaları normalde fark edilmeyen takım ilişkileri gösterme gücüne sahip araçlardır. İlişkileri haritalandırmak bile anlam çıkarmaya yardım edebilir ancak bu ilişkilerden daha fazla çıkarmanın yolu da “ağ analizi” adı verilen ve çizge(graph) teorisine dayalı matematiksel yöntemlerdir. Ağ anal...

Abstract The construction of the “whole county photovoltaic” project is an important measure to promote smooth realization double carbon goal. Through identification and analysis stakeholders in project, it provides a reference for early decision steady construction. Firstly, select main participants PV” using UCINET software fit social network relationship among stakeholders, identify construc...

On the basis of modularity optimization, a genetic algorithm is proposed to detect community structure in networks by defining a local search operator. The local search operator emphasizes two features: one is that the connected nodes in a network should be located in the same community, while the other is ‘‘local selection’’ inspired by the mechanisms of efficient message delivery underlying t...

The collaboration network of English publications on animal-derived regenerative implantable medical devices based on tissue engineering technology and its evolving processes and current states were mapped in this paper. A total of 10 159 English papers published before 1 January 2015 were obtained in eight databases. Social network analysis was conducted on these papers by utilizing UCINET sof...

Despite the growing attention to the effective utilization of ICT system in workplace, there is an accumulation of evidence from the literature indicating that organizations do not utilize newly introduced ICT systems to their full functional potential and an amount of new implementations continue to fail. We explore the reasons for the underutilization of new ICT by focusing on the individuals...
