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:

Policing stabilizes construction of social niches in primates
Jessica C. Flack,Jessica C. Flack,Jessica C. Flack,Michelle Girvan,Frans B. M. de Waal,Frans B. M. de Waal,David C. Krakauer +6 more
TL;DR: Policing not only controls conflict, it significantly influences the structure of networks that constitute essential social resources in gregarious primate societies, and plays a critical role in infant survivorship, emergence and spread of cooperative behaviour, social learning and cultural traditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The virtual geographies of social networks: a comparative analysis of Facebook, LinkedIn and ASmallWorld
TL;DR: Through this comparative examination, four themes emerged, highlighting the private/public balance present in each social networking site, styles of self-presentation in spaces privately public and publicly private, cultivation of taste performances as a mode of sociocultural identification and organization and the formation of tight or loose social settings.

SybilLimit: A Near-Optimal Social Network Defense against Sybil Attacks
TL;DR: The novel SybilLimit protocol is presented, which leverages the same insight as SybilGuard but offers dramatically improved and near-optimal guarantees, and provides the first evidence that real-world social networks are indeed fast mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supply chain risk management: a new methodology for a systematic literature review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a focused literature review, investigating the process of knowledge creation, transfer and development from a dynamic perspective within the context of supply chain risk management (SCRM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural reducibility of multilayer networks
TL;DR: This work introduces a method based on quantum theory to reduce the number of layers to a minimum while maximizing the distinguishability between the multilayer network and the corresponding aggregated graph.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
