Definition

  • In addition to shaping social networks, for example, in terms of coauthorship relations, scientific communications induce and reproduce cognitive structures. Scientific literature is intellectually organized in terms of disciplines and specialties; these structures are reproduced and networked reflexively by making references to the authors, concepts, and texts embedded in these literatures.
