El consenso científico señala que la mejor manera de frenar la propagación de la COVID-19 es mediante el rastreo de los contactos de las personas infectadas. Esta medida tiene carácter social, ya que busca analizar las redes de las personas para detectar de forma temprana quiénes están en riesgo de haber sido infectados, alertarles e imponerles la cuarentena, una medida de aislamiento social que impida la potencial propagación.  Hasta el momento mucho se ha hablado sobre qué profesionales deben realizar este rastreo pero poco acerca de cómo se debe realizar este rastreo. En este artículo, en primer lugar, se define qué es el rastreo, qué profesionales están más preparados para estas tareas y cómo se está llevando a cabo en España, encontrando ciertas carencias en cuanto al uso de metodologías científicas que apoyen la labor de rastreo. A partir de la literatura científica que analiza cómo afecta la socialización a la propagación se desarrolla una simulación sobre cómo se puede propagar la COVID 19 durante las interacciones sociales de las personas en sus distintos ámbitos de socialización. Sobre esta simulación se utiliza análisis de redes sociales y determinados algoritmos de detección de comunidades y de análisis de cohesión, para mostrar la idoneidad de estas metodologías para que el rastreo. Los resultados muestran que con el apoyo del análisis de redes sociales y de determinados algoritmos se accede de forma precoz a información clave sobre comunidades formadas en la estructura de red y sobre quiénes son los superpropagadores y los intermediadores entre las comunidades detectadas. Esto puede ayudar a priorizar la puesta en contacto con estas personas para cortar las cadenas de trasmisión comunitaria. Finalmente discutimos acerca de la idoneidad de que los profesionales del Trabajo Social se capaciten en estas metodologías para poder desarrollar esta labor del rastreo.Scientific consensus indicates that the best way to slow the spread of COVID 19 is by tracing the contacts of infected people. This measure has a social nature, since it seeks to analyze people’s networks to detect early who is at risk of being infected, alert them and impose quarantine, a measure of social isolation that prevents the potential spread. So far, much has been said about which professionals should perform this screening but Little about how it should be done. In this article, in the first place, it is defined what tracking is, which professionals are best prepared for the use of scientific methodologies that support tracking word. From the scientific literature that analyzes how socialization affects the spread, a simulation is developed on how COVID 19 can spread during the social interactions of people in their different areas of socialization. On this simulation, social network analysis and certain algorithms for community detection and cohesion analysis are used to show the suitability of these methodologies for tracking. The results show that with the support of social network analysis and certain algorithms, key information about communities formed in the network structure and who are the super-propagators and intermediaries between the detected communities is accessed early. This can help prioritize contacting these people to cut the chains of community transmission. Finally, we discuss the suitability for Social Work professionals to be trained in these methodologies in order to develop this tracking work.

This chapter focuses on the general principle of duality, which was originally introduced by Simmel as the intersection of social circles. In a seminal article, Breiger formalized Simmel’s idea, showing how two-mode types of network data can be transformed into one-mode networks. This formal translation proved to be fundamental for social network analysis, which no longer needed data on who interacted with whom but could work with other types of data. In turn, it also proved fundamental for the analysis of how the social is structured in general, as many relations are dual (e.g. persons and groups, authors and articles, organizations and practices), and are thus susceptible to an analysis according to duality principles. The chapter locates the concept of duality within past and present sociology. It also discusses the use of duality in the analysis of culture as well as in affiliation networks. It closes with recent developments and future directions.


Social networks fundamentally shape our lives. Networks channel the ways that information, emotions, and diseases flow through populations. Networks reflect differences in power and status in settings ranging from small peer groups to international relations across the globe. Network tools even provide insights into the ways that concepts, ideas and other socially generated contents shape culture and meaning. As such, the rich and diverse field of social network analysis has emerged as a central tool across the social sciences. This Handbook provides an overview of the theory, methods, and substantive contributions of this field. The thirty-three chapters move through the basics of social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks statistically. The Handbook includes chapters on data collection and visualization, theoretical innovations, links between networks and computational social science, and how social network analysis has contributed substantively across numerous fields. As networks are everywhere in social life, the field is inherently interdisciplinary and this Handbook includes contributions from leading scholars in sociology, archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science among others.

PurposeThe authors evaluate the evolution of the intellectual structure of strategic management (SM) by employing a document co-citation analysis through a network analysis for academic citations in articles published in the Strategic Management Journal (SMJ).Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed the co-citation analysis through the social network analysis.FindingsThe authors outlined the evolution of the academic foundations of the structure and emphasized several domains. The economic foundation of SM research with macro and micro perspectives has generated a solid knowledge stock in the literature. Industrial organization (IO) psychology has also been another dominant foundation. Its robust development and extension in the literature have focused on cognitive issues in actors' behaviors as a behavioral foundation of SM. Methodological issues in SM research have become dominant between 2004 and 2011, but their influence has been inconsistent. The authors concluded by recommending future directions to increase maturity in the SM research domain.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to elucidate the intellectual structure of SM by adopting the co-citation analysis through the social network analysis.

Covid-19 is a disease of the virus that is shaking the world and has been designated by WHO as a pandemic. This case of Covid-19 can be a place of dissemination of disinformation that can be utilized by some parties. The dissemination of information in this day and age has turned to the internet, namely social media, Twitter is one of the social media that is often used by Indonesians and the data can be analyzed. This study uses the social network analysis method, conducted to be able to find nodes that affect the ongoing interaction in the interaction network of information dissemination related to Covid-19 in Indonesia and see if the node is directly proportional to the value of its popularity. As well as to know in identifying the source of Covid-19 information, whether dominated by competent Twitter accounts in their fields. The data examined 19,939 nodes and 12,304 edges were taken from data provided by the web academic.droneemprit.id on the project "Analisis Opini Persebaran Virus Corona di Media Sosial", using the period of December 2019 to December 2020 on social media Twitter. The results showed that the @do_ra_dong account is an influential actor with the highest degree centrality of 860 and the @detikcom account is the actor with the highest popularity value of follower rank of 0.994741605. Thus actors who have a high degree of centrality value do not necessarily have a high follower rank value anyway. The study ignores if there are buzzer accounts on Twitter.

Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO) trend is growing rapidly, especially in Indonesia. Two of the most popular VHO in Indonesia are OYO and RedDoorz, both have been competing to attain the first position. Both OYO and RedDoorz have their own social media marketing strategies. For example, OYO persuades other conventional hotels to collaborate and use the OYO platform in their businesses. On the other hand, RedDoorz was recorded as the most visited Virtual Hotel Operator Platform in 2019, based on the data of Konsumen Jakpat 2019. OYO and RedDoorz also utilize social media to promote their services such as Instagram and Twitter. For advertising their businesses in social media, OYO and RedDoorz often use some social media influencers or known as influencer social media marketing. Influencers should be able to effectively deliver the messages and influence people’s decisions to use the products or services they advertise. This study aims to further explore the social media marketing strategy employed by OYO and RedDoorz. The results of Social Network Analysis by using “oyoindonesia” and ‘reddoorz’ as keywords in social media Twitter showed that RedDoorz has a bigger social network and more users involved in spreading their information than OYO. On the other hand, OYO's official account on Twitter is more efficient in performing its function as marketing media.

This chapter views the “Periclean Building Program” through the lens of Actor Network Theory, in order to explore the ways in which the construction of these buildings transformed Athenian society and politics in the fifth century BC. It begins by applying some Actor Network Theory concepts to the process that was involved in getting approval for the building program as described by Thucydides and Plutarch in his Life of Pericles. Actor Network Theory blends entanglement (human-material thing interdependence) with network thinking, so it allows us to reframe our views to include social networks when we think about the political debate and social tensions in Athens that arose from Pericles’s proposal to construct the Parthenon and Propylaea on the Athenian Acropolis, the Telesterion at Eleusis, the Odeon at the base of the South slope of the Acropolis, and the long wall to Peiraeus. Social Network Analysis can model the social networks, and the clusters within them, that existed in mid-fifth century Athens. By using Social Network Analysis we can then show how the construction work itself transformed a fractious city into a harmonious one through sustained, collective efforts that engaged large numbers of lower class citizens, all responding to each other’s needs in a chaine operatoire..
