TLDR
In this article, the development of social network analysis, tracing its origins in classical sociology and its more recent formulation in social scientific and mathematical work, is described and discussed. But it is argued that the analysis of social networks is not a purely static process.Abstract:

Socialtrust: tamper-resilient trust establishment in online communities
TL;DR: The SocialTrust framework for tamper-resilient trust establishment in online communities provides community users with dynamic trust values by distinguishing relationship quality from trust; incorporating a personalized feedback mechanism for adapting as the community evolves; and tracking user behavior.

On the maximum quasi-clique problem
TL;DR: Some fundamental properties of the maximum @c-clique problem are established, including the NP-completeness of its decision version for any fixed @c satisfying 0<@c<1, the quasi-heredity property, and analytical upper bounds on the size of a maximum@c-Clique.

Identifying important species: Linking structure and function in ecological networks
TL;DR: The results show that different approaches to quantifying importance give different results; unweighted structural indices never correlate significantly with functional ones, but certain weighted structural indices correlate reasonably well with simulated function.

Party Coalitions and Interest Group Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze affiliation networks of interest groups that endorse the same candidates in primary elections, donate to the same candidate in general elections, and voice support for the same legislative proposals.

The Corporate Elite Community Structure of Global Capitalism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the properties and topologies of corporate elite networks and ask: what is the community structure of the global corporate elite? In order to answer this question, they analyse how the largest one million firms in the world are interconnected at the level of corporate governance through interlocking directorates.

The Strength of Weak Ties
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another, and the impact of this principle on diffusion of influence and information, mobility opportunity, and community organization is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification
TL;DR: In this article, three distinct intuitive notions of centrality are uncovered and existing measures are refined to embody these conceptions, and the implications of these measures for the experimental study of small groups are examined.

Power and Centrality: A Family of Measures
TL;DR: In this article, the rank orderings by the four networks whose analysis forms the heart of this paper were analyzed and compared to the rank ordering by the three centrality measures, i.e., betweenness, nearness, and degree.

Network data and measurement
TL;DR: Continued research on data quality is needed; beyond improved samples and further investigation of the informant accuracy/reliability issue, this should cover common indices of network structure, address the consequences of sampling portions of a network, and examine the robustness of indicators ofnetwork structure and position to both random and nonrandom errors of measurement.

Social Structure from Multiple Networks. I. Blockmodels of Roles and Positions
TL;DR: In this paper, Boorman and White proposed a dual model that partitions a population while simultaneously identifying patterns of relations and role and position concepts in the concrete social structure of small populations.
