Recently, some bibliometric researchers tried to use the centrality analysis methods and the centrality measures which are standard tools in social network analysis. However the traditional centrality measures originated from social network analysis could not deal with weighted networks such as co-citation networks. In this study. new centrality measures for analyzing bibliometric networks with link weights are suggested and applied to three real network data, including an author co-citation network, a co-word network, and a website co-link network. The results of centrality analyses in these three cases can be regarded as Promising the usefulness of suggested centrality measures, especially in analyzing the Position and influence of each node in a bibliometric network.

This study compared and analyzed weighted network centrality measures supported by Opsahl's tnet and Lee's WNET, which are free softwares for weighted network analysis. Three node centrality measures including weighted degree, weighted closeness, and weighted betweenness are supported by tnet, and four node centrality measures including nearest neighbor centrality, mean association, mean profile association, triangle betweenness centrality are supported by WNET. An experimental analysis carried out on artificial network data showed tnet's high sensitiveness on linear transformations of link weights, however, WNET's centrality measures were insensitive to linear transformations. Seven centrality measures from both tools, tnet and WNET, were calculated on six real network datasets. The results showed the characteristics of weighted network centrality measures of tnet and WNET, and the relationships between them were also discussed.

Unlike the past, efforts must be made to interpret physical distribution from a network perspective as the service area expands spatially. In addition, logistics networks are undergoing rapid changes due to various changes in the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in the structure of maritime cargo and the centrality of ports using social network analysis. Using the trade data of domestic maritime at five-year intervals, we investigated changes in the network structure and identified the main factors that affect the centrality of domestic ports. Ports with the highest centrality, which is seen as a port that plays the role of an intermediary, emerged in the order of Busan and Ulsan. This study predicts patterns of domestic cargo trade over the next 20 years based on changes in port centrality and understanding of maritime cargo network, and can be used as reference materials for risk preparation.

This paper proposes a closeness centrality analysis algorithm for workflow-supported social networks that represent the collaborative relationships among the performers who are involved in a specific workflow model. The proposed algorithm uses the social network analysis techniques, particularly closeness centrality equations, to analyze the closeness centrality of the workflow-supported social network. Additionally, through an example we try to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of the proposed algorithm.

This study tried to explore the relation between research networks(coauthor network, author co-citation network, author bibliographic coupling network) and research performance of Records and Archives Management study in Korea. For the analysis, three basic types of network centrality and three indicators of research performance are used. The summary of this study is as follows: Firstly, there are relations between three centralities and three indicators of research performance in the coauthor network. Secondly, there are relations between betweenness centrality and research performance in the author co-citation/author bibliographic coupling networks. Thirdly, there are relations between three centralities in the each research network. Fourthly, there are not high relations between all centralities of the three research networks.

본 논문에서는 사회네트워크 분석 기법을 이용하여 2005년부터 2013년까지 운용되었던 국내 연안여객선의 항로를 분석하였다. 분석결과 연도별로 중심이 되는 항구가 변화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 목포는 지속적으로 가장 높은 연결 중심성을 보였으며, 여수는 최근 그 중심성이 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 물동량과 이용량 등 전통적인 방법을 통하여 분석한 결과와 사회 네트워크 방법으로 분석한 결과 값을 비교하였는데 이 두 값이 매우 강한 상관관계를 보였다. 이를 통해 전통적인 방법을 사용하지 않더라도 네트워크 분석을 통해 해당 항구의 중심성을 알 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The aim of this study is to examine the factors influencing network centrality on women's welfare organizations, and to investigate how the level of network centrality influence the effectiveness of the organization. To achieve this goal, this study conducted a survey on women's welfare organizations in Seoul from March to June, 2009. Network analysis method was used to get each organization's network centrality value. Also, through the Structural Equation Modelling, organizational characteristics predicting network centrality and effect of network centrality on organizational effectiveness. The main results are as follows. First, the significant affecting factors were different between three types of centralities with regards to the type of organization, recognition of resource dependency, attitude of top manager, and established year. Second, the common factors affecting three network centralities were the number of informal ties, accepting feminism as the main organizational philosophy, and the number of qualified staffs. Third, only closeness centrality positively predicted the level of organizational effectiveness among three types of centralities. The faster the organization reaches to other organizations in a network, the organizational effectiveness becomes higher, which means high closeness centrality is more important factor than high degree centrality or high betweenness centrality to increase organizational effectiveness. This result shows social welfare organization should consider changing inter-organizational network strategy from quantity-focused to quality-focused.

본 연구는 지속가능한 물류활동에서 관심을 받고 있는 내항해운(연안해운)의 물류네트워크를 파악하기위한 기초분석으로서 연안여객항로에 관하여 네트워크를 파악하였다. 최근에 기존의 계량적 통계분석방법을 뛰어넘어 존재하고 있는 구조와 실체를 파악하기위해 사회연결망분석이 도입되고 있는 상황에서, 우리나라 연안해운항로의 네트워크를 파악하고자 하였다. 내항해운은 화물운송과 여객운송으로 구별되나 본 연구에서는 화물선만 고려하였다. 국가물류통합정보센터와 해운항만물류정보시스템을 활용하여 한국의 내항해운의 중심성을 분석하였다. 중심성 분석을 위해서 화물선 출입항 척수와 화물처리량을 변수로 사용하여 Pajek과 UCINET 등의 SNA 프로그램을 이용한 결과 내항해운 네트워크를 도식화하고 파악하였다. 결과적으로 네트워크의 node에 해당하는 항만 중에서 어떤 항만이 가장 중요한 노드인지를 찾고, 네트워크 구조가 얼마나 소수의 중요한 항만에게 집중되는 것인지를 확인하기 위하여 중심성 분석을 통해 파악하였다.

This study explores the characteristics of centrality measures for analyzing researchers' impact and structural positions in research collaboration networks. We investigate four binary network centrality measures (degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and PageRank), and seven existing weighted network centrality measures (triangle betweenness centrality, mean association, weighted PageRank, collaboration h-index, collaboration hs-index, complex degree centrality, and c-index) for research collaboration networks. And we propose SSR, which is a new weighted centrality measure for collaboration networks. Using research collaboration data from three different research domains including architecture, library and information science, and marketing, the above twelve centrality measures are calculated and compared each other. Results indicate that the weighted network centrality measures are needed to consider collaboration strength as well as collaboration range in research collaboration networks. We also recommend that when considering both collaboration strength and range, it is appropriate to apply triangle betweenness centrality and SSR to investigate global centrality and local centrality in collaboration networks.
