Abstract

This paper presents a basic analysis of the Net Science database together with a description of the techniques for social network analysis. The database was provided by M. Newman in May 2006 and contains a network of scientists who together co-authored the network theory and experiment. The analysis was performed using the Pajek software. Numerous pictures and tables have been created to illustrate the structure and show the most important parts of this network. Some of the notable findings include important groups of actors whose collaboration is important for the discoveries and development of the theory of networks, and those actors which are important with respect to the whole graph.
