社会网络研究范式的演化、发展与应用——基于1998～2014年中国社会科学引文数据分析

Evolution,Development and Application of Social Network Paradigm:Evidence from CSSCI Database of China

社会网络广泛应用于社会科学研究中，但少有研究对社会网络的研究范式做出系统、深入的总结与归纳。本文在对现有研究归纳总结的基础上，将社会网络研究概括为产生及初步发展阶段、统计模型快速发展阶段、复杂网络兴起及移动互联繁荣时期三个阶段；将社会网络研究范式概括为社会实体关系研究和社会网络分析研究两种范式。通过中国社会科学引文数据库（CSSCI）高级搜索，得到以社会网络为主题词、关键词、标题或摘要中含社会网络的文章3931篇，根据年发文量阈值的设定，将社会网研究的发展分为三个阶段：阶段一（1998—2007年），阶段二（2008—2011年），阶段三（2012—2014年）。每个阶段选取被引次数最高的500篇文献作为研究样本，运用共词分析和社会网络分析方法对三个阶段社会网络研究内容进行比较分析。研究结果表明：社会网络作为研究方法的应用性增强，研究内容方面社会资本、知识管理等传统的领域始终保持较高的关注度，但是具有时代特性的研究问题在不同阶段也会成为热点问题。

Social network has been widely used in social science research, but few research focus on social network paradigm. This article concludes social network research into three stages based on prior research： the beginning stage from 1930 - 1970, the stage of fast developing statistic models from 1980s to the end of twenty century, and the stage of the boom of complex networks and mobile Internet from the end of twenty century to present. The social network paradigm has been divided into two main aspects： social relationships among social entities and social network analysis. And then, 3931 articles ,which related to social network research are selected out of China Social Science Index Database （CSSCI） . The stages of social network research in China also divided into three parts based on the threshold of published papers per year, the first stage 1998 -2007, the second one 2008 - 2011, and the last stage 2012 - 2014. Furthermore, 500 highly cited articles of each stage have been selected out as samples; and then, co-word analysis and social network analysis have been applied to analyze the evolution of social network research. The result shows that the frequency of social network used as a research method increased significantly, some traditional fields always attract more attention of scholars＇ e. g. social capital, knowledge management etc. but new research topics which reflect the development of different stages also can become hotones.
