Dear Jessica,
- Research on deliberately created networks (such as networking organizations) especially using social media methods
You may want to have a look at some of the analysis that are conducted in FP7 Network of Excellence projects (NoE). Note: NoE are (5 years) research projects that are funded by the European Commission to facilitate the knowledge exchange and consolidation of a particular topic. (NoE typically involve more than 20 partners that are mostly academic but can also include companies). Examples: FP6 ProLearn http://www.prolearn-project.org/ (life long learning) FP7 Stellar http://www.stellarnet.eu/ (technology enhanced learning) FP7 Gala http://www.galanoe.eu/ (Serious games) During these projects, some network analysis are often conducted so as to determine the effect of these NoE to contribute in the consolidation of the network of the people involved in investigating the topics. Example of report generated: D3.1 Report on the First Rendez-Vous http://www.stellarnet.eu/index.php/repository/deliverable_repository_list/ This report makes for instance an analysis of the effect of an offline workshop on the social network of the people participating to this workshop. (Note: a new report should be available soon). The GaLA NoE (a NoE that has started only 1 year ago) is also working on such analysis. (Cyntelix is the partner leading this analysis) FP6 ProLearn is now finished, but you may be able to find some information that have been conducted. (for instance by people from AAchen University http://dbis.rwth-aachen.de/cms/research/MiCIS ).

I'm looking keywords and research on the formation of intentional networks in entrepreneurial and other business networks (through networking organizations, conferences, etc.): - Research on deliberately created networks (such as networking organizations) especially using social media methods - How the intentions affect the structure of a network (i.e., metrics like centrality, path length, etc.) (if at all) - Methods for using social media to measure (especially) newly created network ties (i.e., longitudinal studies of newly formed networks on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) Thank you so much! Feel free to email me directly!
