| 摘 要 |
Academic social networks are platforms formed by scholars and their social relationships. Compared with general-purpose social networks, academic social networks exhibit more complex structural patterns and user behaviors, while retaining distinct academic characteristics. Understanding such networks is essential for fostering scholarly communication and collaboration. In this paper, we conduct a multi-dimensional analysis of SCHOLAT, a representative academic social network in China, focusing on four aspects: network topology, user connectivity, academic output, and information dissemination. Our findings show that the SCHOLAT network exhibits both small-world and scale-free properties, along with a prominent rich-club structure. Although cross-community links are relatively sparse, they play a key role in information diffusion. We also identify a positive correlation between users’ interest diversity and their cross-community connectivity. Finally, we observe two distinct dissemination dynamics: individual users tend to generate sustained and broad-reaching content, whereas team and institutional accounts facilitate rapid but short-lived propagation. These findings offer new insights into the structure and function of academic social platforms. |
