Title
Group and link analysis of multi-relational scientific social networks
Abstract
Analyzing social networks enables us to detect several inter and intra connections between people in and outside their organizations. We model a multi-relational scientific social network where researchers may have four different types of relationships with each other. We adopt some criteria to enable the modeling of a scientific social network as close as possible to reality. Using clustering techniques with maximum flow measure, we identify the social structure and research communities in a way that allows us to evaluate the knowledge flow in the Brazilian scientific community. Finally, we evaluate the temporal evolution of scientific social networks to suggest/predict new relationships.
