Study of Scientific Collaborations in the Intelligence and Security Informatics Research Community by Social Network Analysis
Abstract
The field of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is a relatively new research area and co-authorship is the predominant trend in the field of ISI. This study aims to investigate the collaborative characteristics in the ISI research community through social network analysis. The collaboration network of ISI researchers at the domain/disciplinary level based on publications in the field of ISI is built, and three centrality measures, closeness, betweenness, and degree centralities, are used to identify the most prominent researchers in the community. The visualization tool of pajek is also used to identify the main actors, clusters and components in the network.
