社会网络分析（SNA）不是社会学的正式理论，而是研究社会结构的策略。由于它是一个可以应用于许多领域的想法，我们特别研究它在信息科学中的影响。信息科学家研究出版、引用和共被引网络、协作结构和其他形式的社交互动网络。此外，互联网代表了一个规模空前的社交网络。在所有这些研究中，社交网络分析都可以成功应用。 SNA 还与有关自由市场经济、地理和运输网络的最新理论相关。记录了 SNA 的发展，并绘制了 SNA 的合著者网络。计算 SNA 网络的中心性度量。
Social network analysis (SNA) is not a formal theory in sociology but rather a strategy for investigating social structures. As it is an idea that can be applied in many fields, we study, in particular, its influence in the information sciences. Information scientists study publication, citation and co-citation networks, collaboration structures and other forms of social interaction networks. Moreover, the Internet represents a social network of an unprecedented scale. In all these studies social network analysis can successfully be applied. SNA is further related to recent theories concerning the free market economy, geography and transport networks. The growth of SNA is documented and a co-author network of SNA is drawn. Centrality measures of the SNA network are calculated.
