  • Alter composition with overlapping group memberships

    Open AccessM G Everett, P Borgatti et al.ARTICLESocial Networks2025References: 8

    In this paper, we examine common methods of analyzing network data in which we characterize nodes via categorical attributes. For example, we consider alter composition (counting the number of alters of a given type), alter heterogeneity (measuring the diversity of ego’s alters), homophily (similarity between ego and their alters) and Gould-Fernandez brokerage (assessing how often a node is in a position to broker between different categories). A…

  • Egocentric Network Analysis

    Brea L Perry, Bernice A Pescosolido et al.BOOKEgocentric Network Analysis2018Cited by: 25

    Egocentric network analysis is used widely across the social sciences, especially in anthropology, political science, economics, and sociology, and is increasingly being employed in communications, informatics, and business and marketing studies. Egocentric network analysis requires a unique set of data collection and analysis skills that overlap only minimally with other network methodologies. However, until now there has been no single referenc…

  • Structure and Agency in Networked, Distributed Work

    Open AccessDaniel S Halgin, Gopakumar M Gopalakrishnan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2015References: 34

    In this article, we examine the social structure of workplace relationships (both actual and desired ties) in networked distributed work. We focus on the role of human agency in forming networks needed to succeed in this environment. In particular, we address how employee work engagement enables individuals to occupy the network positions that they need in order to succeed in networked and virtual settings. We analyze a distributed team within a …

    Is social network analysis just measures and methods with no theory? We attempt to clarify some confusions, address some previous critiques and controversies surrounding the issues of structure, human agency, endogeneity, tie content, network change, and context, and add a few critiques of our own. We use these issues as an opportunity to discuss the fundamental characteristics of network theory and to provide our thoughts on opportunities for fu…

  • On Network Theory

    P Borgatti, Stephen P Borgatti et al.ARTICLEOrganization Science2011

    Research on social networks has grown considerably in the last decade. However, there is a certain amount of confusion about network theory—for example, what it is, what is distinctive about it, and how to generate new theory. This paper attempts to remedy the situation by clarifying the fundamental concepts of the field (such as the network) and characterizing how network reasoning works. We start by considering the definition of network, noting…

  • Network Analysis in the Social Sciences

    Open AccessStephen P Borgatti, Ajay Mehra et al.ARTICLEScience2009

    Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of interest in network research across the physical and social sciences. For social scientists, the theory of networks has been a gold mine, yielding explanations for social phenomena in a wide variety of disciplines from psychology to economics. Here, we review the kinds of things that social scientists have tried to explain using social network analysis and provide a nutshell description of the …

  • Visualizing Proximity Data

    Open AccessRich Dejordy, P Borgatti et al.ARTICLECAM2007Cited by: 6References: 12

    In this article, the authors explore the use of graph layout algorithms for visualizing proximity matrices such as those obtained in cultural domain analysis. Traditionally, multidimensional scaling has been used for this purpose. The authors compare the two approaches to identify conditions when each approach is effective. As might be expected, they find that multidimensional scaling shines when the data are of low dimensionality and are compati…

  • A Relational View of Information Seeking and Learning in Social Networks

    Open AccessP Borgatti, Stephen P Borgatti et al.ARTICLEManagement Science2003

    Research in organizational learning has demonstrated processes and occasionally performance implications of acquisition of declarative (know-what) and procedural (know-how) knowledge. However, considerably less attention has been paid to learned characteristics of relationships that affect the decision to seek information from other people. Based on a review of the social network, information processing, and organizational learning literatures, a…
