The Research On Scientific Cooperation Network In The Field Of Security Area Under The Social Network Perspective

In recent big science times, scientific cooperation has gradually become the mainstreamof scientific research. Scientific cooperation behavior plays a significant role in knowledgeinnovation, enhancing scientific research strength, realizing scientific research goal as well asimproving the quality and level of scientific research. Scientific cooperation behavior isbecoming more frequent, which reflected that the phenomenon of scientific work cooperationis increasingly common. It has become a hot topic about how to analyze this phenomenon andto strengthen the exchanges and cooperation among science researchers.Firstly, this study is based on the theory of social networks and scientific cooperationnetwork, using the bibliometrics and social network analysis methodology to analyze thecooperative rates and degrees of papers. Its objects of study is that paper information of threecore publications (China Safety Science Journal‘, Journal of Safety and Environment‘, Mining Safety&Environmental Protection Journal‘) from2004to2012in security issue ofChina. Furthermore, this paper used Social network analysis software–Ucinet–to analyze thestructure characteristics of social cooperation network in the field of security, and built thesocial cooperation network of China as well as argued the relation between structurecharacteristics and the scientific cooperation network. Thirdly, it used visualization software–Netdraw–to draw the network map of core authors in security area so that it can get thepaper output of core authors and their main research direction. At last, it analyzed the wordfrequency of key words in the field of security to get the keyword high-frequency vocabularyand co-occurrence graph, then it reasonably deduced the hot topics and development in thefuture of security area.All in all, it clearly showed the overall situation of scientific cooperation of the securityarea, and confirmed the relation between scientific cooperation network and its networkcharacteristics as well as the important effect of core authors on the scientific cooperation network. In addition, this study also put forward reasonable suggestions about futuredevelopment of security area, which plays a significant role in promoting disciplineconstruction and grasping the future research direction of security area.
