شبکه های اجتماعی و همکاری تحقیقاتی
همکاری بین محققین یکی از پدیده های مورد علاقه و مهم از دیدگاه آموزش و سیاست تحقیقاتی تلقی می گردد. در نتیجه کار تیمی و هماهنگی بین محققین مختلف، پیشرفت تحقیقات علمی عمدتاً به واسطه افزایش تعداد مقالات تالیف مشترک در مجلات اصلی با بخشهای متنوع صورت گرفته است. اما ، اعضای هیئت علمی هیچگاه در رابطه با معنای همکاریهای تحقیقاتی یا عوامل ساختاری و وابسته محرک این نوع همکاریها به رضایت عمومی نرسیده اند.

Visual representation of knowledge networks: A social network analysis of hospitality research domain Clark Hu, Pradeep Racherla National Laboratory for Tourism & eCommerce, School of Tourism & Hospitality Management, Temple University, 1700 N. Broad Street, Suite 201C, Philadelphia, PA 19121-3429, USA Abstract Intellectual relationships and collaboration networks are the basis for the development of a knowledge domain. The visual representation of such ‘‘knowledge networks’’ contributes to the overall understanding of intellectual collaborations in a particular knowledge domain. Based on the co-authorship data from recent journal publications over a period of five years, the authors applied social network analysis to explore the network structures and identify their network properties in the hospitality research domain. The analysis revealed the core and peripheral networks where the power law distribution was observed on the pattern of publishing academic papers. The overall network was further examined by nine research streams in both ‘‘global’’ and ‘‘contextual’’ views to understand a broad variety of the collaboration patterns of hospitality researchers. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction A knowledge domain is a particular field of study that creates a common ground and a sense of development of a common identity by affirming its purpose and value to members and stakeholders (Wenger et al., 2002). It is the main source of inspiration for the members to participate in and contribute to the field of study so that they make sense of their actions and initiatives. Furthermore, a knowledge domain is an evolving structure that involves the social process of interactions and collaborations among the members or participants (Galison, 1997). Similar to the concept of ‘‘Ba’’ (shared space for knowledge creation) by Nonaka and Konno (1998), the social structure of a knowledge domain consists of formal networks (e.g., academies or associations) and informal networks (e.g., work groups or task forces) that provide organizational members with a commonly shared platform to collaborate and advance collective knowledge.
