Q1. What have the authors contributed in "Co-citation and cluster analyses of extant literature on social networks" ?

Over one billion people are currently using social media such as social websites ( Facebook Newsroom 2015 ) ; consequently, numerous academic scholars have developed interest in studying the use of social media and social networks. In this study, the authors collected studies on social-network-related topics that were published between January 1996 and December 2014, assembling a total of 2,565 articles and 81,316 citations. Finally, the results of this study were further discussed to elucidate the core topics relevant to social networks. 

Future studies may collect more articles related to social networks from other databases to perform a trend analysis and explore the evolution of social network research. Future studies may consider different weights for articles published during different periods of time. New articles may have a possibility of being considered highly cited ( value ) articles. In future studies, scholars could extent the period of analysis and incorporate the aforementioned problems associated with processing journal data to investigate future changes and trends in the knowledge structure of social networks, thus further perfecting the core knowledge of social networks. 

SPSS statistical software was used to conduct relevant statistical analyses and to elaborate the core knowledge of research on social networks. 

They found that models of dynamical systems with small-world coupling display enhanced signal-propagation speed, computational power, and synchronizability. 

Current social network research mainly explores topics such as network user status, community relationships, and network centrality. 

fields such as medical innovation have also appeared in the field of social networks, indicating the richness, diversity, and importance of social network research to various academic fields. 

Because the number of social network users has steadily increased along with rapid technological development, the topic of social network evaluation has become an essential research orientation for current and future studies. 

Social network sites analyses utilize the use of the digital networks and related network-based information for understanding relationships among people, teams, departments, organizations, or markets (Ngai et al. 2015; Haynes et al. 2016).

Their results showed that the five core factors are trust, technology acceptance and technology application, e-commerce task-related application, e-markets, and identity and evaluation. 

Venkatesh et al. (2003) conducted four research processes: (a) reviewing user acceptance literature and discussing eight prominent models; (b) empirically comparing the eight models and their extensions; (c) formulating a unified model that integrated elements across the eight models; and (d) empirically validating the unified model. 

Granovetter also asserted that the extent of overlap in two people’s friendship networks is directly correlated with the strength of the relational tie between them.
