Collaboration networks are social networks

SNA 101• Node
– “actor” on which relationships act; 1-mode versus 2-mode networks• Edge
– Relationship connecting nodes; can be directional• Cohesive Sub-Group
– Well-connected group; clique; cluster• Key Metrics
– Centrality (group or individual measure)• Number of direct connections that individuals have with others in the group (usually look at
incoming connections only)• Measure at the individual node or group level
– Cohesion (group measure)• Ease with which a network can connect• Aggregate measure of shortest path between each node pair at network level reflects
average distance– Density (group measure)
• Robustness of the network• Number of connections that exist in the group out of 100% possible
– Betweenness (individual measure)• # shortest paths between each node pair that a node is on• Measure at the individual node level
• Node roles– Peripheral – below average centrality– Central connector – above average centrality– Broker – above average betweenness

• Central tenet – Social structure emerges from – the aggregate of relationships (ties) – among members of a population
• Phenomena of interest– Emergence of cliques and clusters – from patterns of relationships– Centrality (core), periphery (isolates), – betweenness
• Methods– Surveys, interviews, observations,
log file analysis, computational analysis of matrices

Social Media NetworkBadges
Connected Action badges allow publishers and community developers to encourage the community engagement they value by rewarding the user behaviors they desire.
![Page 48: 20110128 connected action-node xl-sea of connections](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c8d19b4a79590d728b45af/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Network Based Game Mechanics for Social Media
How badges shape behavior:
> Status markers
> Aspirational targets
> Volume and location rewards: longer posts, more prominently located
![Page 49: 20110128 connected action-node xl-sea of connections](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54c8d19b4a79590d728b45af/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Questions we answer
• Who contributes the most effectively?Resulting in most pageviews
• Who connects the most?Resulting in new users/visits/cross-pollination of content
• Who answers the questions?Adding authoritativeness to your community discussions
• Who starts the conversations?Resulting in new engagement, increased time spent and pageviews
• How to encourage more of this behavior?Resulting in more of the same

• Basic Badges:o Popular: people who are connected to many other people o Networker: people who span widely across the community, connecting manyo Influential: people who are connected to the highly connected people
• Advanced badges include:o Answer Person: people who have provided brief replies to many low
frequency contributorso Agenda Setter: people who introduce topics that attract many replierso Question Person: people who ask questions that get answered by Answer
Peopleo Discussion Person: people who connect to many people who also connect to
each othero Eclectic: people who connect to a wide range of content o Newcomers get badges of their own: "Newest Bridge Builder, Newest
Discussion person"o Mayor of Topics: Long term contributors in each role get recognized: Senior
Bridge Builder, Senior Discussion Person"o Bridge Builder: people who connect with the most diverse collection of
others.

Summary: SNA tells you:
• Macro:– What is the “shape” of the crowd?– Are there sub-groups/clusters?
• Micro:– Who is at the “center”? – Who is at the “edge”?– Who is the “bridge”?
