AGjDPG 5.4: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 10, 2016, 11:15–11:45, H1

Modeling scientific networks in social media — •Cassidy Sugimoto — School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University Bloomington, USA

This talk will examine the role of social media in constructing new or reinforcing old epistemic communities. In particular, we will analyze the interconnectivity of scientists on social media platforms according to their disciplinary affiliation and the degree to which these networks reinforce or contrast with models constructed through collaboration and citation relations. We will analyze the role of gender and other socio-demographic characteristics where possible.
