Social Networking

•  Social Networks –  Ubiquitous: Facebook recently surpassed 1 billion users –  Represent mostly pre-‐exisPng real world relaPonships

•  Explicit and implicit networks underpin all forms of (scienPfic) collaboraPon –  ApplicaPon Portals, Social network apps/pages

o MyExperiment, NanoHUB, progress thru processors

–  Researcher social networks o  VIVO, ResearchGate, iamResearcher

–  Co-‐authorship, grants, scholar networks o Mendley, Google Scholar, DBLP, NSF/EU

Wokshop Goals and Themes

•  Bring together interdisciplinary researchers –  Computer science, sociology, economics

•  Establish a community of researchers studying social networking and collaboraPon in science

•  Major themes 1.  Using social networks for collaboraPve eScience

o  Applying social networking concepts in science o  New forms of collaboraPve compuPng and sharing

2.  Analyzing collaboraPon through social networks o  ExtracPon of networks from scienPfic acPviPes o  Measurement and analysis through social networks
