Abstract

VIVAS, Jorge Ricardo. Social network analysis to cluster sociobibliometric information. PsicoUSF [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.1, pp. 77-85. ISSN 1413-8271.

This paper examines the benefits of using Social Network Analysis in the field of sociobibliometric exploration. There are considered practical and conceptual limits and reaches. The proposal is illustrated through a study about a journals network of behavior modification by Peiró and Carpintero (1981). In this context it is shown the utility of using reticular properties of Density, Centrality, Betweenness, Power and Clusterig as indicators that allow obtaining novel and complementary information to the one extracted by the classic methods of bibliometric exploration.

Keywords : Social network analysis; Sociobibliometry; Social networks.
