摘要
This exploratory study analyzes the networked structure of theories in social sciences represented by co-occurrences on the World Wide Web. For this, co-occurrences of communication science theories were retrieved from the Web and analyzed using social network analysis tools. Several networks and node-level properties were measured to examine the relationships of theories in terms of co-occurrences. Communication science theories were grouped into four clusters. The results shed some important light on structural dynamics of communication science theories on the academic and social Web.
