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:

Ecology of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Europe: transmission dynamics in multi-host systems, influence of molecular processes and effects of climate change.
TL;DR: The analysis of different multi-host systems suggests that even hosts that are not capable of transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) to the tick vector, Ixodes ricinus, or that are secondary reservoirs for these agents contribute to the intensity of transmission and to the overall risk of Lyme borreliosis, through the process of vector augmentation and pathogen amplification as mentioned in this paper.

Information processing in complex networks: Graph entropy and information functionals
TL;DR: Numerical results are provided demonstrating not only the feasibility of the method, which has polynomial time complexity, but also its usefulness with regard to practical applications aiming to an understanding of information processing in complex networks.

Finding social roles in Wikipedia
TL;DR: The number of new editors playing helpful roles in a single month's cohort nearly equal the number found in the dedicated sample, suggesting that informal socialization has the potential provide sufficient role related labor despite growth and change in Wikipedia.

Generic Absorbing Transition in Coevolution Dynamics
TL;DR: A mean-field approximation reveals an absorbing transition from an active to a frozen phase at a critical value that only depends on the average degree micro of the network.

Sub-National Institutional Contingencies, Network Positions, and IJV Partner Selection
TL;DR: In this paper, two network structural attributes of domestic firms, centrality and structural holes, have distinctive values in different sub-national regions where institutional contexts differ widely and influence the attractiveness of different network attributes to foreign entrants seeking international joint venture (IJV) partners.

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.
