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:

Application of network analysis to identify interactive systems of eating disorder psychopathology
TL;DR: This project was the first to use network analysis to identify interconnected systems of ED symptoms and results of the ‘key players analysis’ suggested that targeting interventions at these key nodes might prevent or slow the cascade of symptoms through the ’network’ of ED psychopathology.

Correlated dynamics in egocentric communication networks.
TL;DR: It is found that the bursty trains usually evolve for pairs of individuals rather than for the ego and his/her several neighbours, thus burstiness is a property of the links rather than of the nodes.

Sexual networks and sexually transmitted infections: A tale of two cities
TL;DR: These smaller, sparsely linked networks, peripheral to the core, may form the mechanism by which chlamydia can remain endemic, in contrast with larger, more densely connected networks, closer to thecore, which are associated with steep rises in incidence.

Quantifying positional importance in food webs: A comparison of centrality indices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply 13 centrality indices to the "species" (trophic components) of methodologically comparable trophic flow networks, in order to answer the following questions: (1) What is the disagreement between different indices regarding the rank of a given species in a given network? (2) How is this disagreement in performance influenced by the choice of the network?

Network position of hosts in food webs and their parasite diversity
TL;DR: The results suggest that a host species with higher vulnerability to predators, being at a network position close to many predatory species, or being involved in many different food chains, tends to be important in parasite transmission.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
