Abstract

Social network analysis was performed by examining the co-authorship patterns of authors from four departments at the National University of Singapore whose work was published in 2004. A tie between two authors was established when they co-authored a paper. From the results, inferences were made regarding the social cohesiveness and the level of social capital in networks. It is argued that social network analysis can be used for three purposes: (1) to identify research networks and the inner and outer circle of an author's professional acquaintances; (2) to map the structural dimension of the social capital; and (3) to identify emergent communities of practice. Lastly, avenues for further research are proposed.
